An invitation went out the entire crew. There was a celebration about to happen and everyone was invited. Sara started up a program she’d been working on for a while. The holodeck filled with a cozy room. Festive decorations lined the walls, there was a faint scent of cinnamon and nutmeg, and a gentle background of holiday music created the ambience Sara had been hoping for. In the middle of the room was a table decked with food. There were, of course the human traditions, but also along the table were the culturally festive dishes of worlds all over the federation. Sara admired her handywork for a moment and then waited for guests to arrive.
