A brilliantly cheesy Christmas story which I just have to share amidst all the finals and end of term stress. Below, I have posted a video which I have watched over and over after stumbling across it on facebook. But first a bit of background...
HMS Ocean, a Royal Navy Helicopter Carrier (sorry Gramps!) deployed in April for what they believed would only be a 7 week training exercise. Then all that excitement happened over in Libya and a seven week tour turned into a seven and a half month deployment. After 225 days out at sea the men (and women of course) arrived home this weekend just in time for Christmas, 17 of whom returned home to newly born babies!
To keep up morale and, well I imagine it must get pretty boring being out at sea for weeks on end stuck with the same old people, they made this video. Enjoy...
Mariah Carey, who's song is used in the video, tweeted;
"This is the best thing I've ever seen, you guys just made my day! Happy Happy Christmas!!! x0x0 to the troops."
Two years ago my dad was deployed in Afghanistan over Christmas and it definitely changed things. So to all those troops who haven't been able to make it back for the holidays, Merry Christmas and stay safe!
