People around the world celebrate the holidays during this time of year. They celebrate
Hanukkah,
Kwanzaa or
Christmas. Do you celebrate one of these holidays?
The three men on the space station Mir do! They just got their Christmas presents, a plastic tree and other decorations that were sent on a supply ship. The supply ship also delivered food, water and oxygen to the three men on Mir.
Happy Holidays from the Windows to the Universe staff!
