December... already!
This Full Cold "Supermoon" is a tweener... in between Saturday and Sunday evenings in practical terms. It occurs at 10:48 AM est/7:48 AM pst, and apparently Sunday evening is best. Along the coast here we've already been getting some cold and very clear winter-like evenings, of which Sunday evening is shaping up to be another.

'Full Moon Sunday Kicks Off 'Supermoon Trilogy,' Including a Lunar Eclipse'
Elizabeth Howell - Space.com - December 2, 2017
The Dec. 3 full moon is the first of three consecutive supermoons, including a lunar eclipse. The other supermoons will happen on Jan. 1 and Jan. 31, 2018. You can watch Sunday's supermoon live online here, courtesy of the online astronomy service Slooh or directly from Slooh.com here.
If you only have time to catch one of them, be sure to check out the "extra-special" Jan. 31 supermoon, NASA said in a statement Friday (Dec. 1). The late January supermoon will take place during a total lunar eclipse visible from western North America, the Pacific and Eastern Asia. It will also be a blue moon, too. [Supermoon 2017 Guide: When and How to See It]
A supermoon occurs when the full moon is at the closest point of its orbit to the Earth, which is also called the perigee. That makes the moon look extra-close and extra bright — up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than a full moon at its furthest point from Earth, called the apogee.
Pair that up with a lunar eclipse, and you will have a spectacular view of the moon turning dark as it moves out of the sun's light and into the shadow of the Earth. Only the light reflected off Earth will be visible on its surface, producing a ruddy red-brown color on the moon's surface during totality.

Feed the Birds
Make a special
treat for your backyard birds: Wrap yarn or string around the bottom row of a
large pinecone and tie into a loop for hanging. Mix birdseed with enough
natural peanut butter to hold the seeds together. Using a teaspoon, spread a
small amount of the seed mixture on the top of each scale (imagining how the
cone will hang), packing it as firmly as possible into the space. Hang the
pinecone from a tree branch or bird feeder.

Perry Como ft Fontane Sisters- It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas (RCA Victor Records 1951)
ChristmasTimeTV
"It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" is a classic Christmas song written in 1951 by Meredith Willson. The song was originally titled "It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas". The song has been recorded by many artists, but was a hit by Perry Como and The Fontane Sisters with Mitchell Ayres & His Orchestra on September 10, 1951. A popular but unproven belief in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, holds that Willson wrote the song while staying in Yarmouth's Grand Hotel. The song makes reference to a "tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well..."; the park being Frost Park, directly across the road from the Grand Hotel which still operates in Yarmouth. However Grand Hotel was a popular name used by many hotels in numerous towns and cities.
