00:00So, from all of us to all of you, Merry Christmas!
00:19Welcome to the International Space Station as we get ready for the Christmas holidays.
00:24It's a great time of year up here.
00:26We get to spend it with all of our family up on the International Space Station.
00:31There's seven of us up here and so we're going to get to enjoy company together.
00:35And one of the best things that I like about Christmas is the preparation and just getting
00:39ready and the anticipation, everybody getting together and preparing stuff and just getting
00:45ready for the holiday.
00:46A couple of little things we have here with us to just prepare, which will be sort of
00:52fun in a couple of days.
00:55Around Christmas time, the holiday season, it's about spending time with friends and
00:58family and loved ones.
01:01You know, this year we're going to be in orbit away from them.
01:05So we want to send our heartfelt Merry Christmas and we hope you have a wonderful holiday.
01:14Want to also mention that we're not the only ones that are going to spend time away from
01:18our families over the holidays.
01:21There's a huge team on the ground that's going to support us in mission controls around
01:26the globe over the holidays and I want to thank them for the sacrifices that they're
01:31making.
01:32Together, we work hand in hand with the ground every day and over the holidays we keep this
01:39mission going.
01:40Merry Christmas.
01:42And Christmas is synonymous with food and feasting and boy do we have a feast packaged
01:50up here.
01:52And of course, Christmas is Christ.
01:55Hallelujah.
01:56A Savior is born.
01:58So from all of us to all of you, Merry Christmas!
