Ship's Log | To Boldly Go

I already miss the planet and its sun, but I was able to take a few samples of the Green from it.

DM to Harley

I need to introduce you to Isabela.

I don't know who else on board actually celebrates holidays this time of year, but I'd like to share a tradition from back home*. My family has never been particularly religious, more concerned with unlocking the mysteries of the universe than anything else, but we did do Christmas.

What we'd do, every year, is each pick out an ornament for the tree. So over time, the tree would become filled with memories. After my parents died, I'd pick out one for each of them as well as myself, and when I moved into my flat with Sam, it would be the only time of year I'd return to the Manor, to put away the ornaments for my parents. Sam and I started up our own version, just for us.

I don't really know why I wanted to share. I guess I miss them. I can guess what they'd pick out. Or have replicated, I suppose.

What if we put a tree up in one of the rec rooms. And the travellers could each hang up an ornament, if they chose?

Mary

Would you mind terrible much if we put up a tree in our common room? Regardless of what happens with the rec room.


*ooc: totally lifting the tradition from my wife's family

Hello, I'm Chekov. I've probably met many of you by now but I have not used this network before. I'm the Navigator of the Enterprise for those who I have not met.

I look forward to getting to know all of you.

I knew that I would miss Risa when we left, but being sick over it is a little surprising.

.....that's a joke, just in case anyone interprets that wrong. I am a little sick, but nothing that won't pass in a day or so.

That said, Jadzia suggested that we have a party for Christmas and since I'm not swamped with security duties, I figured I'd volunteer to try and organize something for all of us since I know Peggy is a little busy right now with her duties. So, Enterprise, what should we do for the holiday? All suggestions welcome, provided they don't involve death, destruction, and excessively graphic violence.

And, yes, this includes Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, too. Though I'm pretty sure Hannukkah has already passed or is really close to ending, but no reason we can't include it.
