The holidays are over on both sides of the mirror. Sunset Shimmer travels to Equestria with one more present… and something to say.

It's the most wonderful time of the year, and in Canterlot, that means it's time for the biggest Hearth's Warming parties in the nation. Going by the Gala, enough formal splendor is sure to attract Princess Celestia's attention.

Isn't it?

My gift to Petrichord in The Incredible Amazeballs Jinglemas Secret Santa Compilation, now with corrected typos that I really should've caught the first time around.

For the longest time, Celestia had spent Hearth's Warming Eve the same way.

Alone.

Well, at least until a certain purple filly comes along.

If there's a holiday, then somepony's probably overdecorated for it. The Greening has seen entire homes blend into the local grass, while Lambvent shrouds neighborhoods in wool and Hearth's Warming traditionally welcomes guests into homes through making it impossible to see where the front door is. But if Ponyville's going to get dressed up anyway, then Town Hall might as well have a little contest built around it. The mayor signed off on that.

Which meant there was a period of at least two seconds in which Marigold Mare completely forgot her town hosts the Bearers -- and that she'd just given them a reason to compete against each other.

Shall we count down to the inevitable one home visit at a time? In six, five, four, three...

(Now with author Patreon and Ko-Fi pages.)

Chrysalis becomes a mall Santa. Actually a mall "Neighbells". It sounded like a good idea at the time, only she dramatically underestimated just how infuriating it would be. Equestrians and their silly traditions.

The cover image doesn't correspond to anything in the story I just drew it like that to get your attention :3c

A certain pink prancing pony ventures forth into the streets of Ponyville in search of a very special parcel! She is a mare on a mission! Nothing would stop her! That was a Pinkie Promise!

Beta Reader: The amazing Emtu

On Hearth's Warming Day, Tartarus is not a fun place to be. Holiday joy does not permeate Equestria's most notorious prison. The same drudgery and boredom that plagues its inmates every other day of the year doesn't let up for Hearth's Warming.

Cozy Glow, one of Tartarus's occupants, expected the day to be spent plotting her escape and ascension to Equestria's throne with her 'friend' Lord Tirek. It's how every other day since her arrival has played out, so why not today?

Instead, a mysterious unicorn with a broken horn appears from nowhere. She's here to take Cozy Glow on holiday parole, for a 'proper' Hearth's Warming celebration.

But neither Cozy nor her custodian are what they seem.

Twilight is a little stressed this holiday season. All due to a certain book, she is receiving complaints and threats to destroy Ponyville along with knowing who made this book. Not to mention the way. She is also preparing for a festival in Ponyville.

So why Spike, why are you demanding that she read that book? And why are you throwing more fuel onto the fire?

Rainbow Dash has a GREAT investment opportunity for Starlight Glimmer this Hearth's Warming.
