Astronauts on the International Space Station are spending Christmas away from their loved ones, but the holiday spirit seems alive and well. They won't be sitting around a conventional tree, but the crew has made its own space-based holiday-scape in microgravity. Stockings were hung by the airlock, decorations floated gently inside the station, and humour bridged the distance between space and Earth during the holiday greeting. A light-hearted note was added when Cardman joked that the station might be orbiting a little higher than Santa. Together, the crew wished Earth a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
