Life Anew: Part 5: What is this, Christmas?

Life Anew: Part 5: What is this, Christmas?

You know, as a foal, it’s tough to keep track of time. I mean, I don’t know what month or year we are in. but now I see that my room and all the other rooms that I have been carried to have been decorated with things that I can only call Christmas decorations. Of course, I know they don’t believe in Jesus. Maybe they do have a pony version of him in the past. How would I know I’m just a newborn foal. 

Today both my Mother and Sister seem to be extremely happy. I smile and laugh at their cuteness. My mother smiles back at me with her loving gaze that I just can't get enough of. One thing I have learned is that ponies show so much love. Maybe because of their herd mentality. Like most humans have the pack mentality. If you want to know what it all means, find it out yourself, I’m not a dictionary or a knowledgeable per-pony.

So what can I say? Today seems to be a special day, from what I can say from both the decor and the kind, loving smiles I get from both Mom and Sis. It could only make me happy, and I can’t wait to see what will happen with these Christmas-looking decorations.

After what I can tell is breakfast, I’m placed on my mother's back and carried off to Mother knows where. We passed some guards and maids who bow and salute to at the sight of mother. One of the guards, an older-looking unicorn, smiles at me, and I smile and giggle back at him.

Out of nowhere, I get my scarf around me in a poof of dim light. I hear Mother laugh at me, probably at my shocked expression. I looked up at her, still a little surprised. I see we are near a door to the outside, and I can now guess why I was being dressed in my scarf. Guards started to open the door for Mother and me and then followed us outside.

I saw them follow behind us, and the older-looking guard was close to me. I stared at him. and he sometimes looked at me. It was funny to see him look from stoic to soft with a smile and back to stoic it made me giggle. He also sometimes made weird faces making me laugh even harder. One thing that has happened to me is that my mind has become so immature.

I hear my mother’s laugh and hear her say something that I don’t understand. “It seems she has taken a liking to you.”

I just looked up at mother in a confused state, and then I giggled. Again I have become so immature.


We walked for some time and were in a town or city with many ponies looking at mother and me, some bowing to her and some even bowing to be or smiling at me. Some looked at me with a look. I can’t really tell what kind it was. Maybe they had a stomachache eat something bad. Maybe they were not even looking at me.

We stopped outside of a building of a toyshop. Mother lifted me up with her magic and placed me in a super comfy chair. After that, some of the guards and the funny-faced one and mother started to show me different toys. It seems they wanted to see what toys I like or want, who knows. This went on for a little while as I played with funny-face.


As we went back home, we were attacked, I would say, by a pony who at least got stopped by the guards. Though still left me crying. I could tell Mother was angry at the pony, what I could not tell what was she was saying.

We made it back home after a little while. It took almost all the way to get me to calm down. As we got home, I was put in bed after getting fed by Mother.


I was woken up by my mother holding me in her hoofs, smiling at me. ”Wakey wakey, My little Delight.” says Mother to me. I smile up at her and then look over to the window. I see that it is a little dark outside. She puts me on her back again and leaves the room. We walk down the hall or corridor. She then walks into a room with a fireplace where I see My sister at it with a big smile on her face. She also looks like she is trying her hardest to sit still.

I was placed on a cushion beside my sister but only for a second as my sister grabbed me and hugged me. I was then placed between her legs. The room had a fireplace with a painting over it some small frames with pictures in them. And some other things around it looked like a cozy cabin with a bookshelf and some other interesting things. The room was also decorated with these Christmas decorations. I also saw a tree with this pink heart thing on top instead of a star. It even had present under it.


Time went by quickly as we had eaten and sang songs and after present time. I saw mother look up at the sky with a sad look. I started to get sad too but shook it off as I wanted to get to Mother. As I wobbled over to her, I grabbed her front legs in a hug and did the unthinkable as I snuggled into her fur, tears forming, getting her fur matted. ” Mama, don’t be sad.” Is echoing in my head. I wanted to say it out loud, but the only thing that did come out was one word. “Mama”

I heard a gasp come from my mother. I looked up at her and saw her with tears forming in her eyes. as my tears started to form, I again said the word “Mama,” I saw a smile adorn her face.

“Mama?” Her hoofs swept me up in a Hug.

“Oh, My little Delight,” she says as she squishes my head into hers and starts to muzzle my cheek. “mother loves you so much, thank you, Thank you so much.

The rest that happened was blank as I think I fell asleep in my Mothers embrace.
