Yes, that happens very often. We have thirteen lunar cycles per year, but only twelve months each year. Therefore, we have one month every year that has two full moons. Also, the date you mentioned was not the only time in recorded history when there was a month with no full moon. Such months are always February, obviously, as it has only twenty-eight days (the length of a full lunar cycle). About every 30 years or so, February does not have a full moon.

As a moon month is 28 days, you may have maximum 2 full moons if it happens in the first days of a month.

Usually only one. Occasionally, however, there are two.
This is called a BLUE Moon.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and have a nice day.
Thank you very much, while you're up!!
