A Secret Santa Gift arrived for Lisa: The gift itself appeared to be rather small In size, a pair of boxes, wrapped in brightly patterned fabric, each sporting embroidered motifs (even if the recipient did not embroider them themselves, They had clearly spent quite a while programming the replicator to do it for them) of flowers and other natural phenomenon. On top of the small pile of boxes lay a small card, but the details of that would be explained later. The box on top was smaller, and contained a set of paints made in an ancient earth recipe – along with some rather fancy looking brushes to actually paint with. The box on the bottom, slightly larger, contained a holodeck program wrapped up in such a way that it appeared like the VHS tapes of old. The contents of this holoprogram was a faithful recreation and restoration of the old Earth Television Show “The Joy of Painting” hosted by famous painter Bob Ross, as well as other shows like it that were produced later. Finally, there was the card on top of the little stack, which read – in perfect Calligraphy – “I hope these gifts bring you joy and inspiration, and that your holidays are full of peace and relaxation.” Along with this message were replicator recipes for paints close to the paint given as a gift, as well as the specifics of the type of brush given. Finally, there was the the signifier who the gift was for, which read “To: Lieutenant Lisa Sanders. From: Someone.”

Lisa spotted the present- she loved the embroidery. It looked like it had taken a lot of work to program the replicator to make it. And she knew how fickle those could be sometimes when you wanted them to do just what you wanted. She appreciated the effort. She spotted the card too- the message was sweet. There was also a replicator recipe for ancient Earth paint recipes, and the program to replicate paintbrushes? Oh, this Secret Santa definitely knew what she liked. She smiled and opened the boxes. The first one was paint- made with an ancient Earth recipe. Having had to use newer replicated paints for a while, she would enjoy these. Plus, the lovely paintbrushes. The second one was a holodeck program. “The Joy of Painting”, by Bob Ross. She had heard about this show before, but had never watched it. Now, she supposed, she had the chance. She’d definitely try that out soon. All in all, Lisa loved and appreciated the gifts. She’d be definitely trying them out soon.
