my kerbals celebrate by trying to build an ethanol fueled rocket, but somehow never end up launching due to an issue with disappearing fuel.

Mine will be in a deathtrap called "Very well built spaceship" on their way to Eves surface and maybe, with a chance above 0, land successfully. Returning on the other hand...

[Overlocker96]

Building a Giant Christmas Tree like TD Channel has done, but in normal Stock Solar System, and sending it to the Supermassive Black Hole at the Galactic Core of Galaxies Unbound planet pack, I'll do this challenge this weekend.

[Ariel Kerman]

My Kerbals are preparing since two months ago for wich is going to be probably their first and last interstellar mission to a black hole...

My Kerbals decided to celebrate the holidays by sacrificing Jeb to end the Kraken once and for all... at least that's what they're hoping.

[AlamoVampire]

How my kerbals celebrate the holidays depends on location. On the planet? With friends and family. On orbit? If time permits they gather in a common crew area and share a meal, sing songs and teleconference with family.

I don't know about in real life, but in KSP, Santa Claus is real, he lives at the equator, and his "sleigh" will actually be visiting every single house in Kerbin in a single night.  It turns out solid rocket boosters are slightly more practical than flying reindeer.

98 of my Kerbals will be going 9,023m/s towards the center of the sun 

[modus]

Most of them scared, Jeb not so much.

[MrFancyPL]

They celebrate eating finest snacks sitting together in a biggest crew can their craft has to offer 

[kurgut]

On their Holidays, Kerbals usually like to go on the space-sofa, grab a tacos, one or two fresh beers, and admire the absolute glory of deep space, while casually discussing about the latest Jebediah Kerman's rocket crash, the Minmus Dust's new Ice Cream flavor, or telling each other some ancient Deep Space Kraken scary tales...


(sorry couldn't get the "interstellar dream" text out : P)
Cheers, and thank you for that giveaway event !

My Kerbals used to celebrate by having a Secret Santa gift exchange. But then one year nobody could find the launch keys until they opened the presents on Christmas morning, so....

[Clayel]

with explosions, of course!

[Astr0Guy5]

They celebrate by listening to Mariah Karey and watching fireworks. All they ask for every year is just moar boosters...

[Stoup]

Mine celebrate their holidays with a nice, low thrust output SRB instead of a fireplace. Makes for an interesting challenge for Santa!

[QuiescentRabbitt]

They make minmus ice-cream cookies

[Jackofthenight15]

My Kerbals read books by the warm and toasty SRB, while they wait for good ol' St. Nick Kerman to drop by with their gifts, or in Valentina's case, liquid fuel.

[gfdgfherytrey]

My kerbals celebrate by drinking ker-nog since their eggs are called kegs in stead of our eggs and they make minmus ice cream.

[Casellina X]

They slap together a poorly thought out rocket and head for the slopes on the North Pole of Minmus. Then they realize they should have picked a flatter area to touch down. Finally they gather round for the last picture they'll take before For Science! hits the airwaves.

Can those of us who purchased the game enter?  If so, what do we get in lieu of a free copy of a game we already purchased in the event we win?

Perhaps you could give the key to a friend, family member, or your favorite teacher.

[DeadJohn]

My Kerbals celebrate with "fireworks": strapping themselves to large single-stage rockets, going suborbital, and parachuting back home.

Or..... You could give it to me

[Zozaf Kerman]

My kerbals do a yearly “who can burn the most of the North Pole with one SRB challenge.” Jeb has held the title for the past 3 years, but this year Bill has a secret plan to cinch the win.

[Ultim32]

My kerbals celebrate by launching a rocket covered in Starshot-32s at midnight on Christmas Day, and release the fireworks as the rocket gets higher. 

Edit: Don't include me in the giveaway, because I already have KSP2.
