>> FOR ME, THANKSGIVING HAS
ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT SPENDING TIME
WITH THE PEOPLE I LOVE THE MOST,
KIND OF JUST FOCUSING
ON FAMILY AND FRIENDS
AND-AND BEING TOGETHER
AND WHAT WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR.
>> AND FOR MY FAMILY,
IT WAS REALLY ALL ABOUT
GETTING PEOPLE TO COME
FROM WHEREVER WE'RE LIVING,
DIFF-DIFFERENT PLACES
TO COME TOGETHER.
IN HOUSTON,
THANKSGIVING IS SO WARM, UM,
THAT WE-- EVERY--
EVERY THANKSGIVING IN HOUSTON,
WE TAKE OUR DINING ROOM TABLE,
AND WE MOVE IT
ONTO THE DRIVEWAY,
AND WE EAT OUTSIDE,
AND I JUST WANT
MY FAMILY TO KNOW
HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE
THEIR LOVE AND SUPPORT.
EVEN THOUGH I'M GONNA BE
FAR AWAY MOVIN' REALLY FAST,
MY HEART IS DEFINITELY
WITH THEM.
>> AND ONE OF THE, UH,
THE THEMES OF OUR EXPEDITION
IS THOSE THINGS
THAT BRING US ALL TOGETHER.
OBVIOUSLY, OUR PEOPLE,
OUR FAMILIES DO,
AND THANKSGIVING IS
ALL ABOUT THAT,
BUT ALSO FOOD.
FOR US, IT, UH, THE FOOD
IS A BIG PART OF IT.
MOST-- BEING THANKFUL
FOR THAT FACT THAT WE--
WE HAVE IT AND WE CAN ENJOY IT.
>> AND SO TYPICALLY,
IN OUR FAMILY, THANKSGIVING--
WE'LL DO A THING
WHERE WE GO AROUND THE TABLE
AND SAY WHAT WE'RE--
WHAT WE'RE THANKFUL
OR GRATEFUL FOR.
SO I'LL PROBABLY CALL IN
AND-AND DO THAT REMOTELY.
>> I THINK WE'LL BE WORKING,
BUT ALSO LOOKING FORWARD
TO AN AWESOME MEAL TOGETHER.
I'M SURE WE'LL INVITE
OUR COSMONAUT COLLEAGUES
TO JOIN US.
IT'LL BE A VERY INTERNATIONAL
THANKSGIVING, UM, AND LUCKILY,
IT DOESN'T TAKE AS LONG
TO COOK FOOD IN SPACE,
'CAUSE MOST OF IT'S
JUST BEING REHEATED.
>> MY FAMILY WOULD BE VERY HAPPY
THAT I'M NOT PREPARING
A THANKSGIVING MEAL
FOR THE CREW.
IT'S ALREADY BEEN PREPARED.
ALL I HAVE TO DO
IS, UH, ADD HOT WATER
OR JUST OPEN IT UP,
AND, UH, THE FOOD
IS ACTUALLY FANTASTIC UP HERE.
AND WE ARE VERY MUCH
LOOKING FORWARD
TO SOME SPECIAL THINGS
THAT HAVE BEEN SENT FOR US.
>> SOMETIMES, UH,
PEOPLE DO A TURKEY TROT
ON THANKSGIVING.
UP HERE, WE HAVE A TREADMILL,
SO I'VE GOT SOME SPECIAL
SURPRISE COLORED HEADBANDS
FOR THE, UH, CREW TO WEAR
WHILE WE RUN IT OFF
ON OUR TREADMILL.
>> AND I'M JUST GONNA DO
WHATEVER I CAN
TO SHOW HOW THANKFUL I AM
FOR MY CREW MATES.
IT'S WONDERFUL HAVING
ALL THESE FOLKS UP HERE,
AND WE HAVEN'T BEEN UP HERE
TOGETHER THAT LONG,
BUT, WOW, IT SURE HAS
BEEN WONDERFUL ALREADY.
>> I'VE GOT SOME
CRAB BISQUE HERE.
SO THAT'S LOOKIN' PRETTY GOOD.
I'VE GOT THE-THE BEST CASE HERE,
THE BEST ONE EVERYONE'S AFTER--
THE ROAST TURKEY.
THAT'LL TASTE DELICIOUS
WHEN WE ADD SOME WATER.
PLUS POTATOES AU GRATIN.
WE ALSO HAVE CANDIED YAMS,
A HOLIDAY TRA--
ANOTHER HOLIDAY TREAT.
>> YAY! I FOUND THE DESSERT!
CHERRY-BLUEBERRY COBBLER.
MY DESSERT.
THANK YOU FOR BEING PART
OF EXPEDITION 66,
AND JOIN US AGAIN.
>> HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
