"Christmas hasn't been very much important in a long time, but it's...very nice that you're making it so. Figures someone like you would hold onto the details." The the Starfleet emblem on the arm.
As for family...it's true. He has to make a new one here, and the Freelancers and then some (well, a good many of them, at least) are just that. A new, extended family. He tries out the word. "Family." Yeah. That feels good. But there's still almost an anxious hesitation that comes from the fact that he'd still like to get home where he belongs, so much having happened in the past many months, and it shouldn't be so easy to just replace them.
It's not a replacement. He has to remember that. "A family Christmas together. Sounds too good to be true."
