Author's Note: This was done a few years ago, but was too late to edit and upload this story then. Hope you enjoy it and Happy (belated) Hearth's Warming! Also, this is based on a short story I read while I was in college, but I can't remember the name of it though.
Edit: December 29: Featured in "Popular Stories?" Cool!

Unless you are talking about something else, the pony holiday is Hearth's Warming not heart's warming.
What a nice little story. Certainly not as cheesy as other Hearth's Warming Eve-related works, but with a nice and heart-warming ending.
Good work!

Great little story.
In answer to your comment of:
I believe that the short story your referring to is "The Little Match Girl" By Hans Christian Andersen. Written in 1845. (No that is not a typo. it was written in December, 1845)

No Problem. We have all been there. Having read a short story that impacted us, and having no idea the name or Author years later when thinking back on it.
If your interested, there is a great little flash cartoon on Newgrounds.com for The Little Match Girl, and it is one of the best I have ever seen. I believe its by Tom Fulp, but don't quote me on that. I'm working from an extremely bad memory.
