Sunset Shimmer. Everybody knows about the bully seeking redemption. She sees all the stares, she hears all the whispers, she knows how her classmates seem to look away whenever she meets their gazes.
And she couldn’t expect anything less.
So it’s no surprise when her... friends stay with their own families at Christmas, leaving her alone with no family, no company and the fire seeming cold and bitter - just like all the looks directed her way. But that was fine to Sunset, it was what she deserved.
After all, with all that she had done, forgiveness - never mind friendship - was surely impossible to earn, right?
Princess Twilight, upon learning of her intent to spend Hearth’s Warming Christmas alone through the journal, travels through the mirror to gather supplies, exchange gold bits and most importantly, teach a mare girl a little something about friendship.

Wow. I know you might feel like it was rushed, but I thought it was fantastic! I usually don't enjoy Christmas or holiday style stories, but the emotions evoked by this story were just phenomenal. Your word choices and visualization really sold it, keep up the good work!
I also loved this scene:

Thanks! Curious though, did you do Jinglemas too? I didn’t see your story yet.
Edit- Nevermind, found it!
Haha, I was waiting for this to come out on the 24, but I guess better late than never! Great job!
I've been trying to ask you when you might update Mistress of the Everfree Forest, Learnt to Trust Again, and The Young Princess or if you will update them at all.
