      The good news is they do celebrate Christmas on the ISS (sometimes twice!). Take a look here – Expedition 34 looked awfully festive. 🙂

      Hey antek and georgina!

      Delma is right! The crew celebrate Christmas on 25th December and Russian (Orthodox) Christmas on 6th January.

      They get presents, have a Christmas tree and wear silly hats just like on Earth!
