I stayed back on the Christmas day and along with the whole station enjoyed the holiday. My other team members worked even that day. In the morning, we had some gifts to exchange. The later part of the day was slow and relaxing for me when I tried to catch on my blog. At 10.00 am, many enthusiasts at the station took part in the “race around the world” which was a 3 mile-long lap around the station starting and ending at the South Pole.

The whole day, our galley scroll was showing Santa Claus’s North pole to South Pole flight status.. We finally learned that the flight was delayed due to Ornery reindeer. :D
Later in the evening, we had a Christmas special dinner. The blinds in the galley were down to imitate night (we were already getting bored of too much light, this was a welcome change) and the TVs showed fire. Everyone was dressed nicely and we were served an amazing dinner and wine. After the dinner, we had a small social where we were filled in with loads of exciting stories by the polar research veterans: Bob, Vladimir and Don.

A nice Christmas special dinner.
