Christmas and Science Fiction Geeks

What happens when you mix a diehard Star Trek fan with the Christmas season?  Well for one, you end up with a Star Trek Tree!   


This small tree is decked out (get it?) with a few lights (a single string of 100 - I should have added at least one more string) and the new Hallmark Star Trek ornaments based on the 'Mirror Mirror' episode. 
Here are a couple of videos of how the ornaments work.  With the complete set of five characters you can set it to play the soundtrack of a section of the 'Mirror Mirror' episode.  Only a few seconds are provided in the second video but the full session lasts for a number of minutes.




Of course we have a regular tree as well.  This year we bought a 6.5 foot artificial tree already fitted with 800 lights which have multiple display modes.  We keep it set to slowly alternate between all white and colored. Takes 5 minutes to set up (a bit longer to add the ornaments :) )


Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
