Dating back to the first Omega Colony, the Christmas tradition of giving gifts to the children of the colony was started by Nicole Branson, a human familiar with the tradition. Nicole and her sister Nancy were raised in foster familiar after the death of their father and the capture of their mother by the Borg. For Nicole, it was one of the few times in those early years that she was truly happy.
Carleton Porter asked the Governor if he and Dr. S'Myy could play the role of Santa this year. The Antican wanted the young Vidiians to see him as a benefactor. The Governor loved the initiative of the Mayor.
Carleton Porter and his new girlfriend, the Vulcan S'Myy dressed as the big red man and as an elf. They went to the homes of the inhabitants of Camelot spreading the joys of the Earth tradition. The Vidiians had gone for horrid skin peeling exiles to young inhabitants of the colony. They had already received the greatest gift. The children laughed gleefully as they opened the presents.
In the era of replication, the needs of everyone can easily be fulfilled but there is just some kind of magic in opening a Christmas gift.
Carleton returned to the Mayor's mansion filled with joy and love. He truly understood why Nicole loved doing it. He was removing the costume when he heard Dr. S'Myy shout, "Dammit, there is one more gift to give."
"Oh dear.", the Antican responded.
"Can you come here to help me with this last gift?", S'Myy requested.
The Antican walked in to find his emotion embracing Vulcan mate on the floor wearing only the elf hat. Her butt was raised in the air waiting for her Antican mate.
"The last present is for my Santa Claus. Do you like it?", S'Myy offered.
The Antican quickly mounted his mate, "Oh yes. Merry Christmas to me."
