It’s that time of the year again, where the temperatures drop, the stars shine a little brighter, and somehow even surrounded with people, we often feel a little bit more removed and alone. What would Christmas feel like on the Moon?

Desolation, longing, quietude, and triumph. We’ve walked up there, on that big glowing orb. A Christmas up there would be lonely, but beautiful. The Earth shining in the distance like a glittering gift.

Here at Recspec HQ we like to have fun with the Christmas season, last year we visited Twin Peaks for the holidays, and this year we’re visiting space.

Starting with our own artificial stars…

…and paper folded constellations.

Astronaut Mary watches over us.

Don’t fret, Santa! You’ll find your way.

Yeehaw, Space Cowboy.
