"Holidays"
Chapter 1 – Christmas
Captain Janeway's walk to the bridge was unremarkable, so when she exited the turbolift, she was unprepared for what she saw. Every inch of her bridge was covered...in Christmas decorations. There were holly sprigs hanging from the ceiling; different colored garland wrapped around the stations of tactical, navigational, and conn; multi-colored lights ran around the perimeter of the consoles (including the wall displays);mistletoe was hung in front of every door leading to/from the main bridge; brightly colored balls hung from the railing which separated the command area from the work stations; and the view screen was wrapped in gaily-looking paper complete with ribbon and a gigantic bow.
Knowing who was behind this, Janeway sighed and tapped her combadge. "Mr. Neelix, please report to the bridge."

Chapter 2 – Halloween
Chakotay was on his way to Main Engineering to see B'Elanna, who was late on the Engineering update. Upon entering the corridor leading to Main Engineering, he found it strangely deserted. With an unfounded sense of unease, he entered Main Engineering and was met with a strange sight. On the casing of the Warp Core were silhouettes of cats; bats; witches; and pumpkins/jack o' lanterns, which, due to the glowing core, threw shadows onto the walls and consoles. Orange and black crepe paper was strung from railing to railing on the second level. Multi-color (black, orange, and purple) lights were running around the perimeter of the consoles (including the wall displays), and hanging in the space between the railings of the second level and in front of the Warp Core was a humongous spider. The positioning was so similar to the member of Species 8472 that was being hunted by the Hirogen (Season four; episode "Prey") that it startled the Commander.
After calming his nerves, he tapped his communicator. "Neelix, report to Main Engineering."

Chapter 3 – St. Patrick's Day
"Please state the nature of the medical emergency." The Doctor appeared in sickbay. "Hello? Is anybody there?"
He looked around sickbay, and aside from no one being there, his medical bay looked strange. There was an abundance of weirdly shaped green things hanging off the bio-beds, and strings of lit green things were running around the perimeter of the consoles (including the wall displays). At the entrance to the surgical bay was a line of cardboard shapes (the same as the shapes that were hanging from the bio-beds) and hanging from the cardboard were what seemed like hundreds of green streamers, blocking the surgical bay from view. To top it all off, when the Doctor walked through the streamers, a short, humanoid dressed in green was laying on the surgical bed. It took no time at all to determine that the humanoid wasn't real and was, in fact, stuffed. It was clear the Doctor was not amused.

"Captain, please turn on your emergency medical holographic channel." Captain Janeway pressed a button on her side panel, and the Doctor appeared on the Main Viewer.
Janeway's lips twitched as she attempted not to smile at the usually sterile sickbay decorated somewhat modestly in St. Patrick Day's decorations. Shamrocks were hanging off the bio-beds, green lights were running around consoles, cardboard cut-outs of shamrocks were lined up above the entrance to the surgical bay and streamers hung from the shamrocks. Laying on the surgical bed was a stuffed Leprechaun. Janeway cleared her throat. "Is there a problem, Doctor?"
"Of course, there is. Someone has defaced my sickbay!"
Janeway's lips twitched again. "I'd hardly call a few decorations defacing." The Doctor made a motion to say something, but the captain kept going. "Nevertheless, I will talk to the person responsible, and they will fix it. Bridge out." Janeway turned off the view screen, sighed, and tapped her combadge. "Mr. Neelix, please report to the bridge."
