The True Meaning of Christmas

At around midnight when everyone fell asleep in Pinkie's room, the alarm went off on Applebloom's iPhone for midnight which she set intentionally for one reason, so she, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo could see Santa Claus.

"Sweetie, Scoots, wake up! I think Santa is gonna be here any second now!" whispered Applebloom.

The CMC quickly tiptoed downstairs dragging their blankets and pillows downstairs to the living room where the tree was. They fell asleep for about an hour and a half and woke up to the sound of coal falling down the chimney and bells ringing. And all of a sudden, Santa Claus appeared in all his glory with his bag of toys.

"Oh my! Looks like someone was wanting to see me do my magic!" said Santa when he saw that the CMC were in the living room.

Sweetie Belle got up despite the fact she was only half awake and then fully woke up when she realized she was staring Santa right in the face.

"Oh my gosh! Are you really Santa Claus?!?!" whispered Sweetie Belle.

"The one and only. Merry Christmas Sweetie Belle. I see you, Applebloom, and Scootaloo joined your sisters for their Christmas Eve sleepover. I haven't seen one of those in a while." said Santa.

"Yeah. It was kind of a last minute invitation since we originally were gonna have our own Christmas Eve sleepover at Applebloom's house. We thought it would only be right to join our sisters on Christmas Eve." said Scootaloo.

"Well according to my list, all three of you were on my good list this year! That means you get everything you put on your wishlist." said Santa.

"YAY!" said the CMC.

They then watched Santa spend about the next hour or so place all the presents that the CMC as well as the Mane 7 asked Santa to bring them under the tree. Right before Santa was ready to leave, Sweetie Belle had one more request.

"Hey Santa before you go, can me, Applebloom, and Scootaloo take a selfie with you so we can prove to the world that you're real?" asked Sweetie Belle.

"Yeah sure, I don't see why not." said Santa.

After taking a selfie, Santa waved good-bye and was gone in the blink of an eye.

"That was so awesome! We were probably the first people to talk to Santa in person!" said Scootaloo.

At around 4 AM, the CMC woke up and saw that the kitchen light was on. They walked over to the kitchen and saw Sunset Shimmer pull out a medium-sized sauce pan.

"Hey Sunset, what are y'all doing at 4 in the morning?" asked Applebloom.

"Oh uh nothing. I'm making hot chocolate pudding for everyone to eat as an 'appetizer' before we open gifts and then have a real breakfast." said Sunset.

"Hey Sunset, we gotta show you something that's gonna blow your mind! Last night, we woke up at around midnight and sneaked downstairs so we can Santa and guess what, we saw him and he brought us everything we wished for and we even took a selfie with him!" said Scootaloo.

"Haha, likely story. I want proof." said Sunset as she was pouring in the pudding mix into the pot.

"Do you call this legit?!?!?!" asked Sweetie Belle as she pulled up the selfie that she, Applebloom, and Scootaloo took with Santa on her phone.

"WHAT?!?!?!?! You mean............... Santa really agreed to take a selfie with you?!?!?! THAT IS SO AWESOME!!!!!" said Sunset.

"Yeah I know right. Now we'll actually have something we can brag about to Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara." said Scootaloo.

"Ok ok, let's not get ahead of ourselves. The pudding is ready. You wanna try some?" said Sunset.

"Yeah sure." said Applebloom.

Sunset gave Applebloom a cup of the pudding and Applebloom took a bite of it.

"This is good!" said Applebloom.

"Glad you liked it. I think you should go awake everyone else so we can open presents." said Sunset.

"Alrighty then!" said Sweetie Belle and the CMC ran upstairs to wake the others.
