During Hearth's Warming Eve, Twilight is shocked to discover that all of her friends believe in Santa Hooves, and sets out to prove that he doesn't exist. (Contains two versions. The poetic version and the reworked original story I wrote first.)

What so Santa is just a big troll, damn you trollestia, damn you :trollestia:

Read the entire thing in Zecora's voice.

Simply amazing.

This would make a neat Christmas episode...

Wow that was fantastic! I really loved it, especially since I'm sure that's exactly how the Hearth's Warming ep is going to go. 5962/5 stars.

Gah, now I'm reading it in Zecora's voice too! Damn it!

Stories like this I don't usually review,
But in this case, it seemed like the thing to do.
This verse about one young unicorn's doubt,
And joy she felt when the truth she found out
is truly an epic tale, one of the best.
It made me laugh and brought warmth to my chest.
And I was truly surprised when the twist arrived
(Though some of the rhymes were a bit contrived.)
After this I will most certainly be reading more of your work.
I can't think of any more rhymes, so for now I'll just say: DERP!:derpytongue2:

Yeah, I know a lot of them are contrived. Being my first real effort at rhyming, I discovered a lot of words (particualrly Santa and Hooves) are pretty difficult to rhyme. Everyone out there who knows how to write poetry can justifiably rip this apart, and I absoutely accept that.:twilightsmile: Still, I don't think I did that badly for a spur of the moment fic.:raritystarry:

Rest assured, I absolutely did not mean that as a criticism. In fact, that's one of the things I found most amusing. And I realize how difficult rhyming can be. Hell, I had enough trouble with just ten lines, I could never write something as long as you did.

Ans rest assured I didn't take it as a criticism. I was just saying that as a general fact. :twilightblush:

Wasn't expecting the twist,:rainbowderp:
This was a very enjoyable story. Good job. :twilightsmile:

Oh wow that was a fun little tale. I would give so much to see this put to animation. And those reindeer names! That had me laughing. Seriously, I plan to take animation course just so I can animate half the fics I have read, even if it takes YEARS.
You really added a drop of distilled christmas spirit, didn't you? great story.

Cute story! Also, I can so see Zecora narrating this, too. :twilightsmile:

:pinkiehappy: Really loved the story, great job.

Very cute and funny. Loved it! :pinkiehappy:

Uh, wow!

I'm reading this to my little brothers on Christmas Eve! :raritywink:

And then Princess Santlestia was 20% Cooler. That was a great :twistnerd:, I didn't see it coming at all. The whole story was great, really. Twilight's skepticism (with an actual justification, for once!), her friends' attempts to change her mind, Carrot Top earning a temporary spot as Best Background Pony, the twist, obviously, Twilight helping to deliver the presents...all dawww-inducing holiday awesomeness.

A very enjoyable read. 5/5.

“And I want my new Scooter,” Scoot shouted with conviction.
“And my loopty-hoop,” Apple Bloom encored in poor diction.

That is the best line ever.

:rainbowlaugh: Loved it! :derpytongue2::derpyderp2::derpyderp1:

:twilightoops: + :trollestia: = <3333

great story.

:twilightoops: + :trollestia: = <3333

great story.

After I wrote the original version, it took me about four or five days to convert it all to rhyme. I still don't know what I was thinking...:derpytongue2:

Aw, this story was heart warming! My imagination is still swarming!:rainbowkiss:

One of the best fics there is! Hope your Christmas is a fizz! :pinkiehappy:

For some strange reason I cannot stop talking in rhyme. Perhaps this is the new talking regime? :rainbowlaugh:

This was simply adorable. Job well done!:heart:

Hehe, I must admit I was caught off guard. Surely, I was waiting for Twilight being proved wrong, but I wasn't expecting that. It turns out really nice ! Job well done.

Just a typo right there :
[...]then surly they would believe someone older.

Merry Christmas !

Loved it. 5/5 stars:pinkiehappy:

Beautiful! I really liked how you handled Twilight and her stubborness/cleverness, and then Celestia, oh my. Great job! have all my stars. :twilightsmile:

Amazing story, really well done!!! Honestly I could imagine that being a real episode!

You are a hero, good sir or madam.

I would be a sir. :eeyup:

I love this explanation. Literally, Celestia is god, of course. Symbolically, there is no better explanation to a kid than that their parents are their own Santa Claus. Technicaly, it's true.

Excuse me while I HNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGH...:twilightsmile:

This really can show us all what Santa Clause can symbolize when it comes to what all the good there is about Christmas

Holy horseapples! That's scary.

So Celestia once had Santa's reindeer. Interesting.

3741664 No, Santa had Celestia's reindeer. :trollestia:

This is one of the four stories of mine that was featured on EqD back when they were actively helpful when it came to accepting fics (they would tell you exactly what you would need to do to fix any flaws basically which I don't believe they do anymore). They were actually excited about this one to my surprise.

Hey there! I did a reading of your story with a full cast and everything! I'm the narrator and Carrot Top in this story! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mC1kCxQ3hDQ

Oh wow! Neat! Thank you! :twilightsmile:
Hilariously I actually did a reading of this on my own YouTube channel several years back (the so called poetic version) though it sounds pricelessly bad since I have no voice talent.

Cool :)
Still do readings?
Side side note; this was a delightful little story 🎅

:rainbowlaugh: No, no. That was just a one off thing. My channel is dedicating primarily to Let's Playing though I ended up taking something of a break this year.
:twilightsmile: And thank you. Always glad to hear someone enjoyed.
