A Boxing Day moon

Thank you everyone for congratulating me on my 500th blip 2 days ago :-)
I hadn't realised that I had reached that milestone.
With one thing or an other, it has been a struggle to blip of late :-(
Today has been a lovely sunny day, it is cold but that is only to be expected, it is now officially winter.
The cold moon (in waiting, it is not full for a couple of days yet) along with Jupiter and Aldebaran are forming a lovely right angled triangle shape.
Also, somewhere between the line formed between the moon and Aldebaran is the asteroid (dwarf/minor planet or whatever they are classifying them as atm) Vesta.
At a visual magnitude of +5.1 it should be visible with the unaided eye in a clear dark sky, but difficult to see with the glare of the bright moon.
Hope you've all had a lovely boxing day
