One of my favorite seasonal STO events is here: Q's winter wonderland - where mischievous Q transports you to a...ermmm...winter wonderland...complete with winter events, winter clothing, and a new limited edition ship that you can claim.

This made me smile this past weekend :-) I've heard of butterball turkeys in the past, but have never really bothered to look up what makes the different from 'regular' turkeys
