Frostheart did not enjoy the period of Hearth’s Warming. It was too loud; too bright; there were far too many ponies everywhere; And far more importantly, there was far too much good cheer and joyous feelings abound.
And since, as a windigo, she kinda needed negative emotions to survive, that last one was a serious problem.
Which in turn forced her into having to sneak into a pony settlement during Hearth’s Warming Eve in order to find some negative emotions to eat. The plan was simple, find somepony having a bad night, have a discreet meal, and leave. In and out, minimal contact with the ponies. Easy.
Now if only she could tell why the settlement’s name was ringing alarm bells in her mind things could be perfect! Oh well, she could think about it more as she searched for a target within Ponyville.

My Name is R has done a Reading of the story.
“And then Pinkie pie happened” is an excellent way to sum up any stories with Pinkie Pie in them.
Heartwarming! Pinkie strikes again!

Glad you liked it. Merry christmass.
A job well done with the characters. What will Mayor Mare have to say about Ponyville's newest resident.

Probably something along the lines:

Glad you liked the story.
Well didn't that wendigo said that she needed negative energy
I imagine that there is no love lost between the two. They've probably had issues over hunting grounds every now and then for eternity. A windigo causes and feeds off of hatred and strife, while a changeling feeds on love and turns it to apathy.
Mental note: FiM equivalent to vampires vs werewolves is changelings vs windigos.
Oh. In this tale they remove the emotions that they feed upon? Interesting take...
A short, light-hearted, comedic tale. Not exceptional, but nice all the same. I appreciate this tale, and I hope you had fun writing it.
I believe this is supposed to be sigh.
Anything, perhaps?
It would have been very scary if Pinkie Pie has that kind of power although it did happen twice in season 9 and in the comic
I would say this is a pretty interesting take on of the Wendigo so apparently this creature was looking for any negative energy from ponies or creatures but unfortunately everybody is in a great mood of this holiday specially Hearts warming which unfortunately for her Frostheart she did not find any negative from anybody and she was trying to call it a loss until Pinkie Pie showed up and take her to the party which was flabbergasted what just happened but apparently Pinkie Pie introduced bon bon which she was not in a great mood and frost heart can feel that but to her it's a good thing and Pinkie Pie even introduced Rarity which she was stressed out and feeling anxiety and Pinkie Pie told her to go for the negative energy which Frost heart did and with that Rarity a negative motion is gone and she wants to hire her which again this is surprising the Wendigo but somehow she accepted it if it means getting the negative emotion so I guess it's a win-win I would say this was a pretty interesting one and nice to see those creatures again keep up the good work
Yeah, not the most intelligent move
Agreed.
I mean what were they thinking, their entire race is practically built for stealth and subtlety, not to mention that they were virtually unknown making it even easier for them to blend in with the masses
You're night is about to get a lot more interesting
Why wouldn't she be here, she was invited after all

Hmm, fun little story, definitely an interesting take on Windigos, but, if I'm honest, it felt a little rushed in places. Though, given this is a Jinglemas entry, that sort of makes sense, but still...
In particular, Pinkie instantly knowing who and what she was dealing with and why, as well as instantly getting her where she needed to be felt very contrived. Admittedly, the way you went into the whole transport thing helped a little with the latter, but it still didn't feel right.
As counter-intuitive as it sounds given the character, I think the whole cartoon reality-bending thing needs to be handled somewhat delicately. Using it for the occasional joke is fine, but either leaning into it heavily for jokes runs the risk of taking the reader out of the story and hinging actual plot on it... well, it's not impossible, but it needs to be done very carefully to avoid seeming like a lazy crutch and/or a transparent contrivance. And while I wouldn't say it goes that far in this story, it still feels kind of off.
Still, doesn't impinge on the quality too much, so I'd definitely say good job. Though it does leave me wondering about how this arrangement would work in the long term - the summer months could be... difficult for a start.

Yeah, if this had been a longer story I wouldn't have been so direct. Probably would've had a few chapters were Pinkie, Bon Bon and Frostheart would play cat and mouse and such for instance. But for a short-fic I thought it would work well.
Glad to ehar you enjoyed the story nonethless.
Cute I'd love to see more of this tamed windigo

I must admit that this has lead to a few ideas.
One that I think has potential is a windigo pretending to be a psichiatrist living in Ponyville while trying to avoid detection.
You will be befriended. Resistance is futile.
