The "blue moon" isn't really blue; it is just a saying. People used to say "once in a blue moon" for anything that was rare or unusual, but this got redefined as "the second full moon in a calendar month". This isn't really all that rare; on average, about every other year.

The Moon is full now; it will rise this evening at about sunset. And since this is the second full moon in December, it will be a "blue moon". (For people in the Far East, like Japan, China, Indonesia and Australia, the full moon "today" is on January 1, 2010. For them, the "blue moon" will be 29.5 days from now, on January 30, 2010. )
