<<< "COUPLE'S CHRISTMAS":https://ponybooru.org/images/3748406 - "SWEATER":https://ponybooru.org/images/3747160 >>>

To all of you watching: A very Blessed and Merry Christmas to you and your folks! Today is the most joyous day of the year, where we celebrate with those we cherish. ^{^}

My story for this picture is that this year, the Sparkle Family wanted to spend the holidays together, so they've left their butler Marquis Majordome and maid Crystal Glaze to take care of the Castle of Friendship while they're away. They've decided to have a movie night with friends!

And why is FeatherTrap there? Well, with Shining Armor going away with the family, Sunburst spending the holidays with Starlight Glimmer and "Clover Cake off doing his own thing this year":https://ponybooru.org/images/3747873, he didn't want to leave his maid alone in the Palace. So he's sent him down to Ponyville to stay with the others to help keep the Castle clean and warm. X3

No, Marquis isn't bored with the movie...he's just very enthusiastic about his favourite pastime. ^{^}

If you remember where Feather's sweater comes from, you get an eCookie. :)

Art is by the supremely talented, incredibly patient and surprisingly affordable: TheWandie, thank you for all your hard work! And for the rest of you, if you want quality pony art that won't cost a month's pay and your firstborn son, I cannot recommend her enough! :3
