Seafarers are tough and strong on the exterior with all their boisterous talks of adventures, booming voices, and burliness. At times, it is difficult to picture a downcast man who, based on our perspective, is on a globe-trotting, dollar-earning quest. Such perception is emphasized by seafaring families whom we have observed to celebrate a bountiful Christmas and all other holiday festivities.
