The six astronauts aboard the International Space Station can't come home for the holidays, but they're doing their best to make the season bright hundreds of miles above Earth's surface.
The spacefliers have decked the halls of the $100 billion orbiting lab, and — like many of us Earthbound folks — they plan to celebrate Christmas (http://www.debatepolicy.com/#) with a party and a feast.
"We've already put up decorations, and we've gathered together all the cards and gifts that our friends and families have sent to us, and we're planning a couple of big meals," NASA astronaut (http://www.debatepolicy.com/#) Dan Burbank, commander of the space station's current Expedition 30 mission (http://www.space.com/14014-space-station-expedition-30-soyuz-baikonur-photos.html), said last week. "That'll be great."
