These 'falling stars' seem to come from the area of the stars Castor and Pollux in the Gemini the Twins Constellation, hence their name, Geminids.
However, according to an article on Kake.com, they actually "come from a small asteroid named 3200 Phaethon, which passes quite close to the sun. Its trail of dust and debris is what makes up the Geminids."
These are usually very bright and impressive so you still might want to check them out even with the moon making some of them hard or impossible to see.
