A few years after Sunset Shimmer and her friends have graduated from Canterlot High School, they return to their alma mater to present a Christmas pageant unlike any other in the human world, a play written and directed by Sunset Shimmer herself combining the humans' Christmas with the Hearth's Warming Eve celebration of her native Equestria.
So you basically wrote out the "Pony kind of Christmas" album from 3 years back? Well done. You even used the CD cover. Creativity at its best!
Awesome start! I can't believe this is put on as a play for the Equestria Girls! I love it!
Alma mater means home, right?
Awesome chapter. Can't wait for more!

Alma mater is usually used in reference to a college someone went to, but call also be used for other educational institutions.

It may seem a bit disappointed now, but it'll all come together in the second act, as these things usually do.
Merry Christmas, dude! This story is 100% awesome!
9362198 "Come togehter"? This story is pure plagiarism and the only reason it's not been removed is because these songs are slightly altered from the originals and were on a pony CD. Just writing a framing story for plagiarism doesn't make it any less so. Just shows you have zero creativity.

Let me get this straight. Figuring out how to fit ten songs (which are in the public domain, FYI, and can be covered and parodied with no repercussions) together in a cohesive story shows no creativity? Using a pre-existing franchise as a springboard to explore ideas the franchise hasn't is uncreative? Coming up with a completely original CMC subplot so one of the songs isn't so out of place is uncreative?
By that logic, every sequel in existence in uncreative just because they're not original stories. By that logic, Friendship is Magic itself is uncreative, because Lauren Faust used to make up stories about the ponies from the original '80s cartoon, and eventually was asked to create the current generation. By that logic, you're a hypocrite for using a pre-existing Twilight facehoof image as your profile pic instead of drawing a completely new character facehoofing.
Looks good. Though a little nitpick: on the show, Applejack's dad was Granny Smith's son while her mom is the daughter of Grand Pear. Just thought I should point that out.
Bravo! Bravo! Beautiful work!

-bows- Thank you, thank you!
I wasn't expecting much from this, but I'm actually entertained.
You earned yourself a favorite.
