Holiday Contest! (picking top five)

[Stiletto]

Story:
For this Holiday season Mimic has decided to celebrate by showing Baby Love Melody and Baby Up Up & Away what the Christmas spirit is all about.  Kindness and generosity!  And the best part is they are loading up a sleigh full of presents that Santa has promised to pick up and distribute throughout Ponyland on Christmas night!  If they are lucky, Baby Love Melody & Baby Up Up & Away, will even get to meet Santa himself!

Official entry 1 - Holiday traditions

The ponies loved the story of the Scandinavian Yule goat and promised that they would take their children to see the giant straw goat at Christmas. They had to  be quick though, because the straw goats were "traditionally" burnt before Christmas day could arrive. Wigwam told Baby Applejack to stay safely back - just in case.

Official entry 2 - Greetings Card

The ponies of all generations wanted to make their own card this year. They worked together to make a cut out Christmas tree card and Tex helped lift Apple Bloom to put the star on the top. However they got glitter all over Sweetie Belle!

I hope this is within the rules I thought that you shopping is a form of celebrating since it goes hand in hand! Well, you can hand out gifts unless you buy them So I made a shopping mall scene I had no pony decorations! So I gathered what I could that was pony sized and made a store out of construction paper and stickers

[FarDreamer]

Oh, I'd like to enter!  I've never entered one of these before so please let me know if I've missed anything.  I've been playing with my camera a lot and getting better at using it.

Here's my photo:

It's the Bowtie/Tux family on Christmas morning with their babies Baby Bowtie and Lucky.  It's for the holiday celebration category.  I don't have any other pictures to add, just this one!

Your favorite thing about the holidays:  The whole atmosphere, the fact that pretty much everyone celebrates something this time of year.

Favorite candy? or do you like cocoa? something similar?:  I do, but I'm so candied out right now from all the holiday goodies that have been passed around.  My doctor also wants me to cut back on sugar which is sooo not working right now.  Feel free to skip this, but I do appreciate the thought!

Extra things or little tidbits I could add to your box to make it fun:  Anything that can be used to set up more pony scenes! LOL.  I love miniatures and scrapbooking stickers, like flowers and things that can be used in the background of photos.

I spent a few hours on the 25th setting up different pony scenes with some seasonal items I've been gathering over the past few weeks. Here are the two pictures I've selected for my entry.

In the first one, Princess Luna has arrived in a snowy Yuletide Ponyville to see how preparations are going to prepare the village for this year's Pony holiday.

A pony band are playing seasonal songs with Wildside on the guitar, Lyra Heartstrings playing the harp, and Pinkie Pie alternating between the drum and the maracas, they've been practicing for weeks to sound perfect for the princess.
Rarity has come to cheer them on, wearing her latest winter fashion, though Applebloom is trying not to giggle, since she thinks Rarity is overdressed.

Cupcake has been busy baking seasonal treats which she has brought to share with everypony,
Fluttershy has brought some miniature Reindeer, Cheerilee and Diamond Rose are enjoying decorating the holiday tree, though a certain grey pegasus has gotten herself all tangled in the tree trimmings and thanks to an ill-advised choice in hat size, Spike the dragon is wandering away in completely the wrong direction!

In my second picture, a group of Unicorns have wrapped up in their winter woolies and have come together in the ancient ruins, a most magical area of Ponyland, to perform their yearly Winter Solstice ritual.

Lord Arcana is leading the ritual with the help of Belladonna the witch pony, Twilight Sparkle and Trixie Lulamoon are waving their magic wands at the mystical altar where Lord Arcana and his assistant Fizzle have set up their ritual items.
Lyra Heartstrings is beating out a rhythm on the ceremonial drum while Holly Blue and Snowcatcher accompany by rattling their Maracas.
The ponies have set up candles around the ruins and are very excited to celebrate and usher in the return of the sun as the cycle of the seasons continues to turn.

Your favorite thing about the holidays:
So many people taking time to come together, to focus on important things like family, friends and kindness, entering into the spirit of the season, sharing love with others and making resolutions to change for the better. What a great time of year!

Favorite candy? or do you like cocoa? something similar?:
Cocoa is nice, I like herbal teas too. I once saw Pina Colada flavored Terry's Chocolate Oranges in the USA, they were the best candy I ever had, though I don't know if you can still get them in the USA? I'm sure any candy is good though, something I can take to work and share with my colleagues maybe would  be good?

Extra things or little tidbits I could add to your box to make it fun:
Any fun items to use in future pony photo scenes..  I love crystals, especially Citrine, My favourite animals are Foxes, so anything to do with them, I love nice scented candles and incense, I collect He-Man and She-Ra merchandise, I collect Tarot Cards and Oracle Cards with nice artwork on them (even though I don't do Tarot readings), I like Folk music, inspirational quotes, Urban Fantasy fiction...
