//------------------------------// // Hearth's Warming Eve Carols // Story: Dafaddah's Box of Chocolates // by Dafaddah //------------------------------// Hello all, As again we approach that special time of year, the ancient songs of Hearth's Warming Eve begin to ring in our heads and our hearts. Let us not forget these hallowed hymns to harmony, and celebrate them together here! To Ensure that these gems are not forgotten, I will create a special chapter in my Box of Chocolates for them - attributed to their transcribers, of course! (Please indicate in your own submission if you do not want me to do so, and I won't!) Happy Holidays, Dafaddah P.S. This isn't meant to offend anyone, only to provide songs for Hearth's Warming Eve based on well known (and loved) templates. I've sung these songs at Christmas time every year that I have in memory and they are very dear to me, so anything presented here will follow the "spirit of the holidays" as well as the Hearth's Warming Eve canon of MLP:FIM. P.P.S. as a first goody, here is the original Hearth's Warming Eve song: "A Circle of Friends" by Daniel Ingram The fire of friendship lives in our hearts As long as it burns we cannot drift apart Though quarrels arise, their numbers are few Laughter and singing will see us through (will see us through) We are a circle of pony friends A circle of friends we'll be to the very end... "We Three Foals of Equestria Are" by Dafaddah We three foals of Equestria are Bearing gifts we traverse afar Field and fountain, moor and mountain Following yonder star O Sun of wonder, Moon of night Star with royal beauty bright Homeward leading, still proceeding Guide us to thy Perfect Light A three-house built on Canterlot's plain A magical hearth's warming flame A roof and walls made of wind A place to grow and live in O Sun of wonder, Moon of night Star with royal beauty bright Homeward leading, still proceeding Guide us to thy Perfect Light Only song to offer have I In friendship voices are lifted high Prayer and praising, ponies raising Worship of harmony nigh O Sun of wonder, Moon of night Star with royal beauty bright Homeward leading, still proceeding Guide us to thy Perfect Light Glorious now behold the sunrise A new dawn opens for the three tribes Pegasus, unicorn and earth pony Equestria to heav'n replies O Sun of wonder, Moon of night Star with royal beauty bright Homeward leading, still proceeding Guide us to thy Perfect Light "The First Hearth's Warming Eve" by Dafaddah The First Hearth's Warming Eve, the mages did say Was to certain poor ponies in a cave as they lay In caves where they lay sharing their heat On a cold winter's night that was so deep. Hearth's Warming Eve Hearth's Warming Eve Born is the land of Harmony The winter had been cold, bitter and long Without food or comfort, they had only song So they sang in fellowship, sharing only one light And so it continued both day and night. Hearth's Warming Eve Hearth's Warming Eve Born is the land of Harmony Sharing only one light, they welcomed the morn Three Tribes did unite and our country was born To seek for Harmony was their intent To follow it together wherever it went. Hearth's Warming Eve Hearth's Warming Eve Born is the land of Harmony Together they planned and in Harmony sought A place for all ponies in Canterlot And there did Harmony both Pause and stay On the side of the mountain a city they laid. Hearth's Warming Eve Hearth's Warming Eve Born is the land of Harmony Then entered in those tribes three Pegasus, unicorn and earth pony And Equestria they declared Will forever be Hearth's Warming Eve Hearth's Warming Eve Born is the land of Harmony Then let us all with one accord Banish all chaos and discord And together sing praise of Harmony With friendship, and kindness and charity. Hearth's Warming Eve Hearth's Warming Eve Born is the land of Harmony "Jingle Bells" by Dafaddah Dashing through the snow In a pony open sleigh O'er the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on Starswirl ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to laugh and sing A sleighing song tonight Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a pony open sleigh, hay! Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Hold on tight, we ride tonight And sleigh our cares away! A day or two ago I thought I'd take a ride And soon Miss Daisy Bright Was seated by my side The sleigh-pony was new And blinded by the snow We got into a drifted bank And then he lost a shoe Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells... A pegasus came by He hitched up to the sleigh And soon Miss Daisy Bright Did let out such a neigh For the sleigh took to the air so far above the snow The sleigh-pony chased after us but he was much too slow! Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells... To ward away the cold, From a blanket did we peek, And soon Miss Daisy Bright Did kiss me on the cheek! We laughed and sang our songs As through the air we weaved We'd never had such fun before On a Hearth's Warming Eve! Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a pony open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Hold on tight, we ride tonight And sleigh our cares away! Carol of Sweetie Belle's. by. MyHobby Seeing as this has references to modern-day characters... Perhaps it's a modern re-imagining? Hark! The tone knells Sing Sweetie Belle's Voice gently breaks "Everypony wakes! Hearthwarming's here Let me be clear All will share love E'er we can sup" Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong That is her song With happy ring All ponies sing One can now hear Notes of good cheer From every town From sky to ground Pumpkin and Pound Making the sound O'er hill and dale Joyfully wail Happily they sing While Sweetie rings Sounds of good cheer Hearthwarming's here Happy, Happy, Happy Hearthwarming's Happy, Happy, Happy Hearthwarmings On, on she calls All held enthralled Her wondrous song Sings everyone Hark! The tone knells Sing Sweetie Belle's Voice gently breaks "Everypony wakes!"
