It's Hearth's Warming season and that means presents, caroling and—of course—making Hearth's Warming Cookies. But just what makes the cookies so important, anyway? Young Jammer Song is about to find out, as his uncle has brought somepony unexpected with him to help with the family's yearly tradition.

Just something I threw together over the last two days for Christmas. Enjoy.
Uses characters from and is part of The Dusk Guard.
Chapters (1)
Spotted a typo:
That was sweet

Fixed. Thanks.
Sweet little story and as for the spoilers, I think most of us could tell that the Dusk Guard would somehow be involved when the Crystal Empire reappears.
I think I spotted one or two minor typos but there was something else, gnawing at the back of my mind, that made me ignore them, sorry.
Could be wrong but wanted to bring it up nonetheless.
Wasn't the filly's name SparkleR?
Happy Hearthswarming

Naw, it's Sparkle. Glad you enjoyed!
Very nice! Especially at the end, there! I'm recently warming up to cute father-son stories
Two things:
Thing one:
Thing two:
Dawwwwwwwwww
Bonus thing:
Have a thumb.
Hah! I really liked the way this story was told, it really warms the heart.

Yahoo! Twilight's Library!
I'm glad you enjoyed this. Good to hear I hit the feels.
That was great. I'll admit I was hoping the guest would be Cappy, but I'm not going to complain.
I enjoyed this quite a bit, thanks for the read!

Feel free to check out my other works if you like the style as well. They're not as "daww" as this, but they're written with the same level of care!
I'm glad you liked it.

Cappy already had plans with Summer and the rest of her friends in Canterville. Had the story continued to the carols however, she would have shown up.

I'll take a look at them, though I have allot on my plate. So It might take some time.
What is it that makes unicorn children making food and interacting with their parents so adorable?! I think it might have something to do with being inexperienced with magic. Would it have the same impact with pegasi? I must do science to this at some point...
Loved the story, and the world building was great as well. Onto the next one!
Rough? Unpolished? Sugary? Features a little experimentation?
Sounds like a Hearth's Warming Cookie, alright.
At least the ones around my place.
The concept of Cutie Mark Cookies is so marvelous that I couldn't help but grin throughout the entire last half. I also liked how much character you were able to give Smart Cookie in this one paragraph. There's a desire to bring ponies together, and there's a feeling of authority to her.
Between three and four of the full-length books, I presume? Judging by the fact that neither Strength nor Habits mentions the Crystal Empire in their descriptions, anyways.
ah! right in the feelings!!
That was hilarious!
You are the top one of my three favorite FIMfiction authors alongside Pen Stroke & Arad

If my plans for the future are anything, yes, both pegasus foals and earth pony foals will be adorable as well. Kids in general are awesome to write, because they hold onto that awesome sense of wonder and amazement at everything ... combined with flat-out blunt methodology and thought-processes that can lead to some hilarious actions.
I love kids. Kids are awesome.

I was really pleased with that one, if you'll indulge my bragging a little. I needed a reason for ponies to have cookies at Hearth's Warming, got to thinking, and came up with something that was both plausible and worked great for the story I wanted to tell.
Yes. While it was a quick one-shot, "Hearth's" place is between book three (tentatively titled "Hunter/Hunted") and book four (no title yet).

Success!

4499645 yeah, he hit my fav writer at about 5 chapters into The Dusk Guard: Rise, although loyal2luna does take 2nd place easily.
i need to check out this Pen Stroke.
well, this was a very nice chapter. we get foreshadowing galore. who will nova meet in the next book(s) that he'd give a cookie to?
7.8/10 and a 
for all the dawwwwww.

You've never heard of Pen Stroke!? He's one of the most popular writers on this website with 6,225 followers last time I checked and my favorite author before I found out about the Dusk Guard. Well on the other hand, I didn't know about him for a couple months when I first started coming to this site. I'll go ahead and check out this Loyal2Luna. Sounds interesting.
I can't believe I didn't notice this at first! I wonder what Jammer's mom's response was.
Pardon me for trespassing upon your private matters, but could you please elaborate on this a bit more? I can't seem to understand what would make a cookie unique to a specific person, given that cutie marks don't exist IRL.
Thank you in advance!
5191874 Um ... nothing spectacular. We just make and then decorate a bunch of Christmas cookie plates to give out every Christmas. Sometimes a few will end up highly individualized (like a Metroid cookie), but for the most part it's just cookie decoration.
So no cutie marks, but sometimes skills.
I have reviewed this HERE.
