Even though the Winter Solstice is the longest night, it's still a solar event! It has NOTHING to do with the Moon. It could be a new moon (no moon visible) & still be the solstice. People burn bonfires late into the night, all night if possible, to keep the night at bay. It symbolizes the Sun in some sense.

Not only could they do a blue moon, but a Harvest Moon would be a once a year event. Always in the fall. My husband & I both did the Harvest Moon test & found we have extra cones in our eyes, cause we could see orange & read a newspaper. If you've never done that, try to do it this fall & see ( literally ) what kind of eyes you have. Do a web search & look for a scientific type site that describes what to do. It only works for Harvest moon. I love watching the Harvest Moon rise. So giant & orange.

Well, back to trying to breed a Solstice. Good luck everybody!
