Hearth's Warming. A time of joy and cheer, of generosity and love.
Not so much for the Apple Family, though.
Winter means the end of crop season, and money is hard to come by. The family, however, protects their pride by celebrating small... meaning not at all.
When Twilight and and the rest of the mane six find this out, they spring into action, wanting this Hearth's Warming to be one especially for them. One to remember forever.

This is another experimental-ish piece, working with symbolism, emotional development, complex scenes with lots of characters interacting, and world-building.
Of course, you can ignore all that and just read a story about tiny talking horses with magic powers. That's good, too.
Enjoy!

And who do you think you are? YOU AIN'T NO ADMIN OR ANYTHING! YOU CANNOT JUST GIVE OUT THESE PICTURES WILLY NILLY!
Did the author sign his soul away yet? Has he made the blood pact? Has he admitted eternal subservience to the almighty Sparkle?
I THINK NOT!
