Many of the crew members work for long periods of time without being able to contact their families - wives & children included. I freak out when Scott is on a business trip & doesn't call home daily. Last night I asked the guy at the photo kiosk if he would be able to call home for Christmas & he had the saddest face when he told me no. What?! Another young man was walking around the dining area this morning and almost crying. I felt sad for them missing the traditions and the relationships - the magical part of the holidays. But also, I pondered for a few moments & realized that the good news is that Jesus Christ was born!! I hope that I was with the heavenly hosts singing for joy. With him we are able to be forgiven & to have life eternal. I am so grateful for this knowledge. I have never been totally alone on Christmas, but I have felt alone at different times of my life. I have always felt the Comforter bringing me peace. So grateful!!
