'Twas Christmas Day and all over the place,
People were celebrating, even in space.
The halls were all decked, the stockings were hung,
And for all that we know, even carols were sung.
Two-forty miles up, above Santa's sleigh,
Was the International Space Station's own holiday.
Gifts came on a rocket (https://www.space.com/39193-astronauts-celebrate-christmas-on-space-station-2017.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social#?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=2016twitterdlvrit) that was launched up from Earth,
Bringing cosmonauts and astronauts plenty of mirth.
On that zero-g station with their hearts all a-flitter,
Astronaut Vande Hei shared this photo on Twitter.
