A few hours later, the family returns from site seeing and returns to the barn and decorates the tree together. They put on the ornaments from Big Mack and Applejack's first Christmases, the ornament Pear and Bright Mack got for their wedding anniversary last year, as well as several other ornaments. Granny even hangs up an ornament from her childhood, an ornament she carved when Ponyville was first founded. After several hours, the tree is fully decorated as the rest of the family soon approaches the barn and enters inside. There are Babs Seed's parents holding a baby Babs Seed. There are Annie and Franklin. Then there's also the rest of their relatives. They then all gather around the tree in a circle and begin to sing together. They sing family songs, classics, and even country Christmas tunes together, but all with smiles on their faces.
After an hour of singing around the tree, the family all sits down together and enjoys a nice Christmas Eve supper together. They all then take turns sharing stories as is their tradition. Annie and Franklin even share the announcement of their engagement which they are soon congratulated for. Once dinner comes to an end, everypony turns into their bed for the night, all except Bright Mack and Pear Butter who go out and sit in the orchard for several hours before finally going to bed.
Once in bed, Buttercup falls fast asleep while Bright Mack continues to lie awake for several more hours. "Such a beautiful Christmas Eve, I can't believe tomorrow is finally Christmas," he sighs. "And I have the perfect gift for my love. I just hope she likes it." After a few minutes, he finally falls asleep, his arm falling over Pear Butter. Tomorrow, he'll give her the gift of her dreams. He can't wait!
