In their ongoing efforts to bring all of Equestria into closer Harmony, the three pony kinds are participating in a pen-pal gift exchange! Each group will be assigned names from another, and give gifts that celebrate the culture, identity, and uniqueness of their home; Bridlewood will gift to Maretime Bay, the ponies in the Bay will gift to Zephyr Heights, and the pegasi will gift to the unicorns of Bridlewood.
Of course, as princess, Pipp has the honor of playing Santa Hooves, delivering Zephyr Heights' Wishday gifts to the forests of Bridlewood. Along with her faithful guard, Thunder, she'll be delivering gifts, and she couldn't be more excited.
And, since Pipp is nearly always online somehow, somepony will know right away if something goes wrong.
...won't they?

Beautemous.
Beautiful, charming. its really sweet to see Pipp in a more positive light. thank you for this gem.
Beautiful story. I liked the flow of it, SO Pip for that. It's different, but I would say different in a good way.
Also, you made me tear up Apple, how dare you. :P Heh just shows how much I enjoyed it eh? rofl.
“Yes, well,” Haven said with a slightly embarrassed laugh. “You may have to answer some questions to your adorable friend Izzy Moonbow about why she’s being hounded by celebrity paparazzi now, asking about a potential royal relationship. But with a mare who could survive a blizzard, being stranded in sub-zero temperatures, and digging a pony out of an avalanche, that conversation should be manageable, right?”
That paragraph alone gets you an upvote.
That's a little dark for a G5 story. Still, I really liked it.
Very good story. Short, but makes good use of the format to convey the tension of the situation, and more good Pipp content is a plus. :)

Right! My new favorite word!
woah.
well written shit man, you got something going here.
upvote. nice job man.
Wow! I'm impressed Well done! Going in my favs!
Equal parts serious and heart-warming. Excellent work.
Another banger, equally frightening and heartwarming.
An excellent read. And a nice concept, of Pipp being capable, if not confident, when backed into a corner.
I'll freely admit that this is one of the first times in a while that I've actually cared for or liked Pipp.
