MC3 Berumen and her boyfriend, AC3 Dalton, are exchanging gifts in the TV control room. Like me, Dalton has to work today and is stuck on the ship. I briefly entertained the thought of taking leave and traveling to the east coast to visit family and friends, but with plane tickets starting at $800, it's just too expensive.
My dad called last night to see how I was doing on Christmas Eve. I'm actually doing fine. As an only child raised to be independent, I maintain a strong relationship with my family, but can also handle being on my own during holidays.
I wish I could say the same for everyone else here. There's definitely some sad faces today. But we've got a job to do and no doubt the Nimitz Sailors will handle business like the professionals they are.
Happy Holidays America.

Mery Christmas, Son.
