Astronauts shared pictures of their Christmas celebrations from space
Astronaut Loral O’Hara shared a long post on X about the Expedition 70 mission and mentioned, “Christmas Day was peaceful – a quiet morning of breakfast and some music by the tree to start, christmas cookie decorating and a big midday feast later. Getting to share the holiday with my crewmates was both special and fun, as was chatting with the team in Mission Control Center, who gave up their own holiday weekends to support us.” Moghbeli spoke to The Times of israel about her space festivities and said, “In my household, we celebrate both christmas and Hanukkah, so I’ve brought some items for both to celebrate with my family. I’ve got a christmas ornament with a picture of the four of us together and also my husband and little girls helped make a felt menorah with lights for each night that I can pin on to celebrate with them.”
