While crinkled tinsel hangs in the mess room and a slightly battered artificial tree is pulled from storage, Christmas on ships is a mouse\u2019s crumb compared to the holiday most of us know. But things are changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seafarer\ncenters across North America are currently in one of the busiest giving\ncampaigns of the year. Not raising funds for operating costs with Christmas\nGalas but organizing to give gifts to strangers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home-based\nknitters and those who sew have worked throughout the year creating cloth gift bags\nand watch caps for seafarers they will never meet.  Jane, a Michigan resident, combs though\nthrift shops for yarn and fabric for her ditty bag projects. Evelyn organizes her\nadult Sunday school annually to collect items for the gift bags and collect\nfunds for shipping to get them to a port mission. Like an assembly line, local\nyouth or civic groups partner to fill the ditty bags with the donated items at\nthe 45 participating centers.  Large bags\nand boxes begin to fill to the brim. Finally, ship visitors walk the narrow\ngangways delivering Christmas cheer to the invisible crews on our global\nwaters.  As awareness of seafarers\nspreads the partnerships increase. Port authorities and Propeller Clubs\ncontribute in the Christmas response. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According\nto a NAMMA survey of North American port ministries, 71,955 Christmas gifts\nwere given in 2014. In addition, more than 30,000 watch caps were graciously\nreceived as a gesture of care and love to those who received little if no gifts\nwhile at sea.  The reciprocal smiles say\nit all.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reality of international seafaring finds more than a million and a half people who live and work at sea away from home during a holiday of family gatherings and renewed connections with loved ones.  When at sea, there is no exciting Christmas morning with children or holiday wrappings strewn, unless it is on an electronic device, which although better than postal services, falls short of human touch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeanie Wodka works at Canaveral Port Ministries where 300 Christmas care packages were delivered to cargo ships in 2018. Often the gifts are provided to the captain and dispersed on Christmas Day when seafarers only ponder home beyond the miles of water surrounding them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe\nholidays are a difficult time. Seafarers are worlds away from home. We want to\nshow the love of Christ to them. We find Christmas a natural time to give,\u201d\nsaid Wodka. \u201cSeafarers are very grateful.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ralph\nAnthony Antonio, chief cook on the MT-Eco Seas is in his eighth year at sea. He\nexplains his experience with the Christmas gifts this way: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\nam delighted. It is a good remembrance. For my opinion, if somebody remembers\nme, even if there is no gift it\u2019s already been settled as a gift.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, there is a symbolic value to the gifts given at Christmas time according to Executive Director, Ken Hawkins of The Mission to Seafarers \u2013 Seattle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe\nseafarers recognize hand-made watch caps as a symbol that we have invested\nourselves, time, love and attention toward them,\u201d said Hawkins. The nearly 100 hats\nwe give say that \u201csomeone really does care while they are so far from home. We\ngave three big burley Ukrainian seafarers ditty bags once. They started to cry.\nThey are isolated in a foreign country and we are family to them.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas\ngifts are purposefully practical too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jhake\nGalas, a Filipino seafarer is in his sixth year at sea. He often sails in\nweather contrary to his homeland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen\nwe received gifts at Christmas,\u201d he recalls, \u201cit was really helpful to us\nseafarers, especially we are sailing on cold seas. We were so happy and excited\nto open those gifts, especially I\u2019ve known that most of the gifts are handmade\nby the volunteers. Receiving such nice gifts makes us feel loved, cared for and\nremembered despite of how far we are from our family.\u201d    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hawkins\nnotes that this invisible workforce benefiting the world of commerce is trading\ntheir lives for their wages. The isolation at work and in their off-duty time is\nan occupational hazard to a chronic degree. Therefore, a cross-section of\nstaff, interns and religious  representatives\nworking jointly in the Port of Seattle all share in Christmas on board by\noffering fellowship, simple prayers or mass when requested to enhance the crew\u2019s\nChristmas experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\npins down the crux of the Christmas giving programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\nare addressing poverty of the spirit and hunger of the soul,\u201d he comments from\ndeep within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mission to Seafarers \u2013 Seattle\u2019s annual ditty bag packing event produced 600 bags filled with practical items by 100 volunteers from various service groups and individuals. The Seattle outreach holds the view that we need seafarers.  Since 90 percent of the world\u2019s goods travel by sea, our lives would be radically different without them.  Yet, the general public is often blind to their contribution and the associated sacrifices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others\nconcur that a wide-angle view of the seafarer\u2019s life is wise to consider. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\ndon\u2019t see ditty bags as a Christmas gift,\u201d said Samida Johnson, a Tuesday night\nvolunteer in a Florida center. \u201cI see them as a thank you gift. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes,\nthese men work and earn a wage greater than those in their homeland, but their\nwages go home to care for their immediate and extended families. Look at what\ntheir families give up. Look at their sacrifice to work at sea. It is on their\nfaces when they skype with their young children.  A ditty bag is a small gift to say thank you\nfor all they do to care for their families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those\nwho work in seafaring ministries are keenly aware that Christmas magnifies the\nloneliness and isolation of the occupation. The efforts made to curb this\ndeficit of connection are a matter of the heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson\nwas introduced to the world of seafarers 15 years ago when a chaplain spoke to\nher congregation. While some idolize the role of those who leave the home church\nto serve as missionaries aboard or give reasons why they cannot, he posed the\nquestion, \u201cWhat if the mission field comes to you? What will you do? It\n(seafarer missions) is in your own back yard.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nfollowing Tuesday Johnson showed up at the local seafarer center to make a\ndifference. Her offerings continue today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf\nthere is a ship, I am there,\u201d Johnson said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
