I'm going to be honest here, I did this just for fun, without anything resembling a plot in mind (hence the random tag) and using DC Comics' Holidays Specials as a base (hence the crossover tag).
I don't expect this to be my next breakout fic or magnum opus, but I someone out there has a good time reading this, I'll know I did something good.
All of this was written in one single sit, no editors involved. Have that in mind before tearing this to shreds in the comments.
Somewhere, under a starry night: Trixie is traveling alone, not really knowing what date it is. But an unexpected call of help will give her a hint.
Peace on earth: Princess Cadance is taking her first night watch over the Crystal Empire when she encounters something really disturbing. Only her auntie Celestia can prevent disaster from happening.
It's our time now: Every well known 'villain' in Equestria has been invited to a particular mountain retreat, from simple jerks to all out 'aponylipse bringers'. Hilarity Ensues.
Aww.
I'm pretty sure Trixie wants to be a genuine hero, though. (She's just so very good at getting into trouble!)
I believe you mean "contractions", I know you didn't edit or have someone to read it over to help you find errors. In a way I am glad that you didn't because I got a real kick out of the typo. I don't think I have laughed that hard in a while. I hope her contraptions weren't to painful. Sorry.
Great chapter. I look forward to reading the other separate little stories as well. I do like the the knock off from the original Christmas story, you know, the one about Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior being born . Very well written aside from some typo's and minor sentence errors.....which to be honest I am guilty of doing when I forget to proof read my stuff and I don't have time to let others read it over for me. LOL! Still a good read!

Yeah, I have this fancanon about Trixie actually trying to be the heroic type, but having to constantly fight her own pride in order to accomplish it. Also, for being not a very social skilled pony, even if she manages to stay heroic, her attitude gets in the way of other ponies acknowledging it.

And once again, Google Translate has made a fool of me. Well, if it managed to make you laugh, I can live with it.
Hope you like the other chapters too, I tried to experiment a little bit with those. Peace on earth was made from a more objective point of view with characters and situations that I'm not familiar with, meanwhile It's our time now was more in the vein "just having fun, not really caring about a plot anymore" that I've done very little (only other fic besides this one).

Well, this comes from two places.
The first one is an adaptation from a Green Lantern story. Replace 'Alicorn Princess' with 'Space Cop' and 'Crystal Empire' with 'other planet' and you got it. Since one of the strong messages of these holidays is about cultural tolerance, I wanted a story show how impossible looks a custom you're not used to, but also how much sense it can make in context.
The other part is from a personal experience. You see, here in Chile we had a bad experience from the cold war, a dictatorship.
I'll not lecture you on what happened, just tell you that those events, that partially ended in 1990, are usually brought up in a political conversation. One of my first encounters with the journalistic instinct drove to bombard everyone I could with the same question Why in hell keep remembering a period that only brought us suffering and division? Why not put the past behind us?
One of the best answers I got was that it was to keep our rejection towards what happened then. By never forgetting the darkness of the past, we could truly appreciate the light of today and remind us why going to that extreme is a very bad idea.
In other words, the past is not there to be forgotten, but to serve as teaching for those who weren't there and need to know.

Gotta be honest, this is what happens when I decide to not care for the plot and just have fun.
I found a couple of errors.
Unless Trixie talks like the Heavy I don't think that's quite right.
I think you are missing a "that" in between."may" and."be".
Other than that, I really enjoyed the chapter so far!
