00:00Greetings to Planet Earth, all of our friends and family from Expedition 74 aboard the International

00:12Space Station, flying high above, thinking of you during this holiday season.

00:19During this season, we're really, it's about spending time with family and friends and

00:24enjoying time together and reflecting on the year that we've just had.

00:27And what a great year it's been for us, as astronauts aboard the Expedition 74 and previously

00:33Expedition 73.

00:35It's also a little bit sad because we're not with our families at the time, but actually

00:40we are.

00:41We're with our space family.

00:42So we're okay, and we're looking forward to spending the holidays together.

00:47And not just together up here aboard the Space Station, but all of our friends at the Mission

00:51Control Centers across the planet in Houston and Huntsville and Munich and Moscow and Skuba,

01:00Japan.

01:01We're all going to celebrate the holidays together and we're happy to share it with you.

01:08One of the special things about the holidays is traditions.

01:11And while we're all away from our traditions at home, we get to enjoy some new traditions

01:16here.

01:17So as you can see, we've got a little bit of decoration here.

01:20We've got a little tree and we've also hung some boots by the airlock with cheer.

01:26So we get to make some new traditions here and that's something that's really nice and

01:30special and we're really glad to be able to do.

01:33I think for each of us here, this won't be the first time that we spend the holidays away

01:38from family for various reasons, but exactly like Mike said, it's so special for us to

01:45share the holidays with each other here in orbit and with all of the teams taking care of

01:50us on the ground.

01:51So we also want to say a great thank you to the families who are lending these crew members

01:56to us and a thank you to those in Mission Control who will spend their holidays taking care

02:00of us and to their families at home as well.

02:03It's incredibly special to be up here.

02:05I think we may be orbiting a little higher than Santa is flying though.

02:09Yeah, holiday season is also very important for Japanese people.

02:15Yeah, in Japan, amazingly, actually we celebrate Christmas and also New Year also.

02:22And because of everybody's support, actually, we are away from family members, but actually

02:28we have good family, just like family, crew members, and also grand support.

02:32So we are very comfortable to live here.

02:35And in addition to that, probably I'll provide a lot of Japanese food for you guys, yeah, to

02:41celebrate holiday season.

02:43So please, looking forward to it.

02:53And so from all of us aboard the International Space Station, to all of you, we would like

02:58to wish you the happiest of holiday season, the happiest of Christmas, Merry Christmas,

03:04and a happy, happy new year.
