Chrysalis has been driven from her hive, from that nice cave she’d found, and even the Log Cabin she’d endured in the north. Now, devising her latest scheme for revenge, the exiled Queen had hoped the puny pony holiday and this accursed forest would have brought her some peace. To no avail of course, she was here again.
At least Celestia had brought some gifts this time.

That was very charming. An impish, chessmaster Celestia who remains in complete control of the situation yet letting Chrysalis handle quasi-redemption on her own terms, and a tsundere Chrysalis slowly understanding that - yes - she is loved. Thank you for this.

It warms my heart to know you enjoyed it, thank you
Mixing up holly and mistletoe is certainly the most prominent tradition around this holiday, yes.
I enjoyed this.

Foiled again! I can never get it right. It was a Holly Jolly Hearthswarming nonetheless
I would be highly unopposed to seeing more of this story in the future. I understand this was a one-shot for the holiday, but you have the start for a solid short story at least.
Seems she had a gift for her after all.
There's always a second scene coming up? Valentines with a tsundere lovebug and that "insufferably cheerful" alicorn. Still, I'm not sure if this is what they meant when they say, "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer"?
(I would not blame Celestia a bit to escape when Cadance is flitting about on Valentine's being WAY too into her job with all the hearts and cutesy lovesick nicknames for everyone. Bleah. Celebrate Singles Awareness Day instead, heh)
This line might need a second look.

Thank you! Sentence and spelling should be corrected
This story in a nutshell:

Starlight Glimmer: "Hey! What about me?! You promised I would be your arch enemy..."
Well, you can capture her, secure her with wrapping paper and gift her to Cadance.
I'm sure she would appreciate it.
I wonder how often they had played this game before.
Good story!
I enjoyed reading it.
And congratulations for your 100th upvote.

Thank you. Honestly I’m blown away by the positive reception this story has gotten and I can’t be grateful enough for it. I may finally come back to writing some stories 💜
And don’t worry, Chrysalis corrected herself, Celestia was only her second worst nightmare
