If my memory serves me right, a halo forms when the moon (or sun) shines through a layer of cirrostratus clouds. Last night, the appearance of the halo with the Jupiter in it thrilled me. Here's the photo.

Christmas Eve Halo

I did, however, get lucky when I got the chance to photograph the halo. This was when everyone was helping themselves to the Christmas buffet.
