Let’s get the fundamentals out of the best way first: “Star Trek” takes park within the sovereign generation. Relying at the order, it may well be loads or perhaps a thousand years from what we name “the present day.” However although the franchise has every now and then rebooted itself, and traveled to change realities, or even rewritten the fictitious historical past of humanity from the past due twentieth century onward, the entirety that came about sooner than the inauguration of “Star Trek” in 1966 in fact came about. So Christmas unquestionably does exist within the historical past of the “Star Trek” universe. Infrequently any one nonetheless talks about it a number of centuries from now, however the idea that is no less than of their reference books. Christmas did exist for a generation.
