Well... today's the day. It's finally Christmas. So, with all the carols to choose from, that I have started from the Middle Ages, what song do I end this by? Well, on one in which I think not only sums up what the holiday is all about, but brings everything that I feel as my personal credo of Christmas. This song comes from one of the dozens Christmas Carol musicals in which has a very unique scene. It comes from right after Scrooge is taken to the past and been shown something that while it's

This carol is pretty surreal as far as my collection of Christmas music goes. As a medieval ballad, this is a song of a conversation between Mary and the baby Jesus where the mother tries to get him asleep without singing to him, however he insists despite being only a few days old. I'm putting this up because, as far as lullabies go, this tune from the middle ages is pretty catchy and beautiful as well. (And in case you're wondering what on earth the lady is talking about is because she's

It is that time of year again and I hope you are all enjoying it!
Have fun with all your family and friends!

I'm not 100% sure on who the artist of the artwork is, but this is the website I got it from.

So, it's my sister's birthday tomorrow (on Christmas day) so I decided to make a PMV for her. It's also my first pmv ever.

My sister is also a big fan of Sunset Shimmer. So this PMV is for her.

Hope you guys like it as much as I hope my sister will.

P.S I did actually get her two other presents, this PMV was just a bonus.

Dear Bronies and Pegasisters,

today is the first day of December, the month of my favorite time of year, Christmas. So in honor of the holiday and as a music lover myself, I’m going to take you all on a musical journey as I’ll share different carols, starting from the Middle Ages and progress to the modern period. As I go, I’ll give you pieces that are as close to the original that I could find. Today, I’ll be sharing with you all the oldest piece in my collection.

Today we're moving on into the Baroque era, and this time it's purely instrumental. This short concerto is by the composer who came up with the concept of the concerto, Corelli. On this particular piece, it bares the description of: "Fatto per la notte di Natale "(made for the night of Christmas).

Part 1 of my 4 part Christmas special is now live!

Summary: Hearth's Warming Eve is supposed to be a happy event—Cadance knows this, but all she ever feels is lonely. Now, with Shining Armor gone and a freak snowstorm battering her kingdom, it's up to Cadance to salvage the holiday and teach her crystal ponies to care for one another. A story about finding your family, on the coldest night of the year.

Moving closer to modern day, today's choice is rather a personal choice then anything else. Years ago, my mother had joined a group in our town called the "Sounds Choir." In which every summer they put on a production of a musical in June and do a Christmas concert around early or mid December. Every year, they sang something different, but out of those concerts came memorable tunes that stick with me even years later. This carol was one of them because of the chorus. And while it is a much

I'm just going to take the oppertunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hearthswarming and general well wishes to all.

I can't believe how popular 'Family' has become since I started writing it, I really expected a token interest at best. But with the response and comments/likes as well as the help given by those who assisted with editing and proofreading. It really means alot to me that you put up with my bad grammar

This is the Christmas blog.

Except it's not really about Christmas. Except it also kind of is.

I'm here to talk about two songs that came to my mind this morning: "Christmas Unicorn" by Sufjan Stevens and "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division.

I joke of course, I love you all.

Overall, 2018 hasn't been that bad a year for me.

But I understand if the rest of you have had it rough.

And if you need help seeing the good, here's something.
What Went Right In 2018- Positive News

God Bless Us Everyone.

So instead of opening presents on Christmas day my family and I waited for my brother and his family to come up from Oregon. When I opened my present I discovered a Snowball Mic that my mother had given me. Did I already mention that my mother loves me? Well, she does.

I plan on using this new mic on my future audio readings and perhaps even using it to record some of the RPG game sessions me and my friends have.

... Should Entry 8, Part 5 (Dragonapped) be released Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?

If we do Eve it will be roughly 8-9 pm cst, and if we do Day it will be around 1-2 pm cst. I know for a good chunk of ya'll the dates probably won't matter much; but for those who are celebrating the holidays, and who like to read the chapters right away, know that it'll be a 6.4K word long distraction from your friends and family...

Today is the last day from the Baroque period, but nevertheless, I've chosen a piece that is widely known and still performed. Handel's Messiah. While we tend to look at this music as a strong tradition of Christmas, charity and divine pieces as something that came from God himself, the truth is that it wasn't always seen like that. If anything, before Handel could premiere it for the first time in London, it was controversial even before anyone heard a single note of it. This was not only due

Merry Christmas and Hearth's Warming Eve From my family and friends to your! 😃

Well well well.

Christmas is around the corner, well almost. All around I hear songs and see decorations, impossible not to get in the mood a little.

And so, with my Joker story done, I think I will make a new hobby story, something small and I can write on whenever I want. A Christmas themed one!

Involving the CMCs and a pony version of Santa!

That will be fun
