| Fantasy Christmas | Selected from Cult Times Special #16 |
Its been a busy year for Cult Times. So we thought wed spice up this seasonal special with a bit of fun. What, we wondered idly, is everyone else doing this Christmas? Here are two possibilities... |

Christmas on Voyager |
||
| The 25th December must be quite hard to keep track of on Voyager. In fact, I wouldnt be at all surprised if the Federation had introduced the whole stardates system as part of a scheme to abolish Christmas. Additionally, by the time any seasons greetings arrived from home, Janeway and co would be old and grey. Nevertheless, Im surprised we havent seen Christmas on Voyager already. After all, isnt it a time for families? It must be a very inclusive period for all on board with everyone bringing their own special gift to proceedings... |

Janeway would let nothing get in the way of everyone having a great time. Chakotay would sit in the corner with his feet up. The Doctor would get the chance to sing a few carols and teach Seven what Christmas is all about. Tuvok could suffer a wholly unexpected emotional outburst. Neelix could handle all the cooking. BElanna could introduce everyone to Klingon Kristmas. And Tom and Harry could set up some fun and games on the holodeck with festive consequences. |

A Farscape Christmas |
||
| An Absolute disaster! John Crichton, guessing that its been 12 months since he last roasted chestnuts on an open fire way back home, suggests the crew all do something to celebrate the birth of little baby Jesus. Whos Jesus? Well, you know, thats not really important these days Christmas Whats Christmas? You can see how it would all go. OK, so the crew of the Moya look like a bunch who like to party... |

They dont mind dressing up, and theyve all got up to something naughty in the past. But even once theyve got over all the initial difficulties, traditional yuletide pastimes arent even going to be possible. Charades for instance. Its a film. Whats a film? Well, never mind; they were never going to get Thomas and the Magic Railroad anyway. |
