What is it called when the moon is getting smaller from a full moon?

The phase when the moon is getting smaller from a full moon is called the "waning" phase. Specifically, it can be referred to as "waning gibbous" when it starts after the full moon and gradually decreases in illumination until it reaches the "last quarter" phase. This process continues until the moon is new again.


Why is this month's full moon called the cold moon?

The naming of the full Moons originated with the Native Americans - each full Moon had a name so they could keep track of the seasons. Because December is when winter starts to really bite and the cold weather starts to take hold, the full Moon was called the Full Cold Moon (it was also known as the Full Long Nights Moon). Some other names are: Full Snow Moon (February), Full Strawberry Moon (June), Full Harvest Moon (October). More information can be found at the related link.
