December moon goes by many names

Moon myths and legends
The full moon of December is higher in the sky and remains in view
for more hours than any other full moon during the year. Not
surprisingly the most common name for this moon is The Long Night
Moon. It also is known as the Moon Before Yule, Cold Moon and Oak
Moon.
Names given it by American Indians include: Moon When Wolves Run
Together (Lakota Sioux), Big Moon (Abenaki), and the Wolf Moon
(Passamaquoddy). A reference also is made to the Hunger Moon
(Passamaquoddy) but it is unclear as to whether this refers to the
full moon of December or January.
