My submission for Day 18 of @25daysofvoyager! :3

I wanted to work with December in the First Splinter Timeline (Beyer) books which OF COURSE landed in Protectors lmao. So Kathryn's on Earth with Philippa, and Chakotay is on Voyager in the DQ with Amelia, Ed, and the Paris family. :)

My ideas for Kathryn and Pip's Christmas surrounded Kathryn being mopey and emotional (Early on pregnant with Liam), and her baking some pumpkin stuff cough CRAVINGS and burning everything haha. Philippa and Gretchen find Kathryn's old cherished toy Sneakers (The green and purple mouse) and Gretchen helps Philippa patch him up to give to her momma for Christmas.

At the other end of the universe, Chakotay's a bit unfamiliar with Christmas traditions and reaches out to Tom and B'Elanna for help. I fell in love with the idea that Miral ends up showing Chakotay how to celebrate Christmas and later the two team up to kill Santa AKA Tom. Ed and Amelia are getting to that age where they don't believe anymore but they're supportive of their papa getting to do that kiddy Christmas stuff with their half-sister.
