The JOIDES Resolution always does Christmas BIG and this year was no exception. 

It started with a performance by the choir in the lab stack, bridge and galley. 

Here you see the choir pictured with Captain Terry Skinner. 

Then we had an enormous feast. 

The Christmas Program followed with performances from the choir and skits by the scientists.

Of course we did get some work done. There is no core like Christmas core!
