23 DECEMBER UC 0078 Paris, Earth
Well, I'll be spending Christmas alone. The shuttle was supposed to depart 2 days ago, but there was some type of Government crisis that's all hush-hush, and all the shuttles around the world have departed with Federation officials taking up all the seats. I'm getting really nervous now, not to mention depressed as seeing how my favorite holiday will be spent going to church and maybe visiting a festival or two.
I'll be able to text-message everyone back home with only a minor time delay though, and I can send them a video with relative quality and speed. I could really sense Mom's disappointment, even if it was only through font. I know this sounds awful, but I tried hacking into (or at least asking around) on the online community to see why the hell Fed Officials were in such a rush to leave (and come to) Earth, but I could only get advance news reports and speculation of Zeon doing something. I'm really not in the mood to write right now, so I'll leave it at this until later.

Marie Clan just logged off her computer on the backyard balcony and looked out at the colony. It was a snowy yet calm morning. The Climate control technicians had been nice enough to program wintertime weather for a couple of weeks. She had just gotten finished talking to her son Marker, who was holding up relatively well for being delayed over a week. She looked over toward the Christmas tree, which still had his presents under it. She had gotten him the latest model laptop, knowing that he frequented his computer and was quite good at it Her daughter had just stepped out to talk to her when she heard a extremely loud noise, that of breaking glass. On the other side of the colony, the 'windows', the giant glass panels, had broken apart, and a large wall of flame was consuming everything. She only had a few moments to turn back to her daughter before they were both swallowed up by the nuclear explosion.
