Overview

How do you celebrate Christmas on a starship thousands of light years from Earth? Create a cosmic winter wonderland, of course!

It’s the first Christmas away from family and friends for the crew of Genesis and everyone, Commander Tobias Dekker in particular, is feeling homesick. With no habitable planets in sight for holiday shore leave, Captain Caden Flynn decides to create Christmas inside the ship instead. And if he can’t bring Toby to his family, he’ll bring Toby’s family to him with a gift from the heart.

(This short story is a follow up to An Endless Sea of Stars, but can be read as a standalone holiday tale)
