December 12 will be a full moon day with extremely strong tides because the latitude of the moon will be at its monthly maximum which is about 27 degree and the latitude of the sun is close to its yearly maximum. Remember,when the M8.7 earthquake and tsunami happened on December 26,2006,the positions of the sun and the moon have the same combination.
In addition the moon will be near its closest point to earth because the perigee should be around December 11.
The combination of the three factors will swing the tides to a maximum extent north and south, with almost strongest force, and inevitably will trigger some big quakes. The question is, where?

The full moon Dec. 12 will be at its closest (356,556 kilometers, or 221,554 miles) to Earth since 1993, and the full moon won't be this close again until 2016

Earthquake hit Sweeden..Dec 16th, 2008
From Spaceweather:
Strong moonlight added a snowy highlight to the scene,” says photographer Jostein Johansen of Tromsø, Norway. The solar wind stream that caused the display came from a far-northern coronal hole. Because of the hole’s high latitude, the emerging stream almost missed Earth and only just brushed against our planet’s magnetic field. Nevertheless, “it was a beautiful display.”
On Dec. 21st, another solar wind stream will arrive, only this time it will hit Earth directly. The stream is spewing from a coronal hole that straddles the sun’s equator, which puts our planet squarely in the “cross hairs.” The longest night of the year could be a green one; Arctic sky watchers should be alert for auroras.
Maybe it is the Solar Wind that is the true cause for many of these earthquakes in addition to a Full Moon.
4.2 is not much of a hit. Did a reindeer slip and fall on the ice?
We need a camera!!
