So I chose the nearest moon landing to Christmas Day to talk about which is Luna 13. It landed on Christmas Eve 1966, in the region of Oceanus Procellarum, the only 'ocean" on the Moon! It sent panoramic TV pictures on Christmas Day, and its last contact was 51 years ago today!
Back to my Moon photo, look at how it has rotated (compared to my 2nd October 2017 photo).

2, Tycho
3, Montes Apenninus or Apennines
Time 22:39.
Distance 234,323 miles.
Waxing gibbous phase.
240 degrees SW compass point (azimuth).
