This story is a sequel to Twilight Shimmer
Sunset Shimmer has had many good Christmas Days together with her wife Twilight Shimmer and their child. This is looking to be one more of them when Sunset gets something she requested just before the holiday. Although a part of her misses the world of her past, she would never give her present life up...
NOTES
1. Please be sure to watch all the Equestria Girls movies, as this does contain spoilery material otherwise.
2. Happens some time after the last chapter of Twilight Shimmer.
3. No explicit scenes, but some suggestive material.
4. Fifth consecutive Christmas special I've done.

I liked this, seeing as this was published before Christmas Eve. Is Big Mac still single?

Glad to help and give ya a bit of cheer.

A very good question. I hadn't decided on that for this story or the previous ones in my Sunlight series. It could certainly still be the case since others were not present at the gathering. I had figured on there being multiple gatherings at different places and times. Such as the Sparkles having their own celebration the day prior.
Totally worth the wait!
7817402 who is Pastry? I'd figure Pinkie to be the mom but I'm not sure
It was so worth the wait. Merry christmas and happy new year BW. Keep up the amazing work that you do for all of us. This is a gift from you to all of us.

It was implied that Applejack and Rarity were together as a couple and thus it would be their child. However, I don't think I was ever too explicit about this and thus could be left to the reader's imagination.

Awww, thank you so much, Goten. I will indeed keep up the work. I love doing it and it's even better that some people enjoy it. I will continue to do this for my fellow bronies. I love y'all~
7843121 then why the name Pastry? I figure that would be a name Pinkie would give her child.
If it's Applejack and Rarity, why not apple or fashion related?
7843841
Her full name is Apple Pastry. Like some other members of the apple family who are named after apple treats.
7843882 ab now I see. The story didn't say her full name and if it did then I missed it
Ok, wasn't expecting that.
Kudos once again.
You know, I could see Lighty becoming a doctor....
7893489
Quite an interesting take.
It's quite possible.
Beautiful. Wonderful. Fantastic.
Okay, not what I thought it would be when judging it by the chapter title. It's better.
So even SciTwi had an overdose of pancakes? I accept this as headcanon.
This is cute and all but Spike and Winona should be dead for a while too. There's no way a dog can live 20+ years

Unless this Spike is also a dragon in dog form with a dragon lifespan.

Hey Blackwater
I just loved all these stories of yours with twilight and shimmy, they warmed my heart so much 
I was really curious whether there would be more after this one and if so, if there was a time I could look forward to reading more of this lovely story you've made 
thanks

Awww, thanks~!
I really had a blast with my Sunlight series here! I have indeed considered doing more stories in this series because it's just so lovely to write. In fact, I have some awesome news for ya! I've been working on a special collaboration project with my amazing friend and fellow author, allykitty. It's a Sunlight story and it's gonna be canon with my series here. Canon with hers too (though potentially non-consequential). If you haven't already read her own Sunlight series then I highly recommend it!
As for times, we may be releasing the first chapter of the collab in just a few days. As for more stories I will author on my own, maybe a few months. I'm just finishing up the Hive Alive Timeline, which rerquired a crazy number of hours to complete. I'll need some time to focus on other work IRL since I'm scheduled rather tight. I may do another bonus chapter for Twilight Shimmer sooner, however.

I think I will go read your friends sunlight series since you recommend it, though i plan on reading hive alive too since I loved your sunlight story so much 
I look forward to see the first chapter of your collab, a well as your future works 
excited to see more sunlight from you 
That's great to hear! Thanks for such a fast reply too
8257737
Hehe. No problem. I just happened to be on.
And I hope you do enjoy Hive Alive if ya get around to it. I'm unsure at this point if I'll ever have another story as big as it is. (took two years to make) lol The sequel, Queen of Equestria, is coming along nicely though. I'm just finishing up the Hive Alive Timeline, which is a chapter-by-chapter summary of the whole story. That alone has taken over 50 hours of work. I wanted it done at the start of the year but underestimated just how much work would have to go into it.
As a matter of fact, I'm working on the collab as well as another Sunlight story tonight.

your super nice to reply so quick, I started up on hive alive and got threw the first rework you wrote (loved it). I even started on your friend allykittys sunlight set and am loving it so much, it holds alot of similarity to your story which only makes it carry more with me, it's very sweet and romantic like yours 
That's so cool! Thanks again for a speedy reply
I can understand that Spike is still alive because he was infused with magic, but Winona? As far as I know, Winona’s just a regular dog, so how is she still alive after 18+ years (going off sunlight’s age)?
Nitpicks aside, this was a very fluffy story full of great character interactions and moments. Great work!
A very heart-warming start.
And an adorable conclusion.
I never got a description of what Sunlight looks like.
This is not what I expected this first chapter to start out.
God damn it.
He sure has, ngl.
Vegan butter exist!
Not surprised there.
Had a feeling those two would have children. But I wasn't expecting twins though.
lol, those two pillows are really sunset's breasts. 😂
Lol, a good way to end the story.
