Previous ChapterNext Chapter

After a good night's rest, I woke up to my Mother dart past my room, dragging something after her. I saw a beautiful green Christmas tree float by. I rubbed my eyes and yawned after hopping out of my bed. I followed Viollette calmly, smiling at the thought of being back, back with my family and friends.

"Good Morning, Mom. Ya slept well?" I yelled after her before continuing downstairs into our living room. I chuckled a few times as I saw Darian hopping onto her back. I helped her carrying the tree onto our small table where we put it into its stand.

"Thank you, Sweetie. Even with magic that thing's heavy as an Ursa." Viollette replied afterward with a relieved sigh and a smile. I could, however, esteem her stress showing in her eyes. I gave her a short hug, to calm her mind.

"I'll help you with the Decorations. More hooves are always better." I told her with a smile as I walked over to our sofa. I rummaged through the boxes and separated the decorations between exterior, interior and tree decorating. "I'll take the outside. I'll be back afterward to decorate the tree together." I said before walking outside with a box of decorations on my back.

I stepped out to see beautifully decorated houses and snow-covered clouds. A truly amazing and beautiful sight. I hung a fir ring upon our door as well as placing a wooden Snowman next to the door. I walked further out, onto our front lawn, to place a little Sleigh in the snow. After decorating the ground I flew around the house, hanging up Christmas lights.

After half an hour, I finished the exterior decorations and headed back inside. I opened the door to see Darian running around in a reindeer costume. I chuckled as I caught him, carrying him on my back. After a while of waiting for Viollette to come back into the living room, we all decorated the big Christmas tree together.

"Alright, Darian. Like every year, the top star is your special part." I told him as I gave him the Christmas star and lifting him up. We all smiled as we finished the decorations. Viollette prepared some hot chocolate and mulled wine for us. We happily sang Christmas carols together and celebrated Christmas as its known. Spending a beautiful time with your family. Merry Christmas everypony!
