[There's static on the screen for a moment before it clears, and Fluttershy waves a bit shyly into the camera.]

H...H-Hello everyone, um...I...hope you're all doing well.

S-So I...I've learned a little about...Christmas, which is...coming up, right? A-And it's actually very similar to a holiday we celebrate in Equestria...wh-where I'm from. S-So I...I-I was thinking that I'd...like to give gifts to people. I-I mean if...if that's all right...

I have...some ideas for what to give people, b-but, um...i-if you wouldn't mind, could you...maybe let me know what you'd like as a gift? I...can't really promise much, but I'm...pretty good at knitting...I think...

S-So if...everyone could let me know what you'd like...I'll do my best to make it. E-Even...if you don't celebrate Christmas...or Hearth's Warming Eve like I do...I'd still like to give you something...if that's okay...

[She hesitates for a moment before turning the D-Terminal off.]

O-Okay...I can make that for you then.

Um? I don't know what can you make?

Ya gotta give me somethin' you want.

[Wheeljack's no Santa, but he's going to try.]

It's better when it's even.

[Choco's face appeared on screen.] She can make lots of things!

O-Oh...g-gosh, I...I'm not sure...I've been trying to think of what I'd like, a-and...haven't thought of anything yet.

Keep it in mind, Sunshine. Lemme know if somethin' pops up.

[Or he'll have to think of something on his own. Which is always a bad idea.]

O-Okay...If I think of something, I'll...let you know.

[There might be a line for that though.]

See? Now will you stop stuffing your face like you just did?

[Okay, so maybe Solarmon is just a tad bit bitter. Doesn't seem to phase Duo.]

So long as they have food...

[He opens his eyes and tilts his head back just enough to look up at Fluttershy.]

Whatcha wanna know?

Well that's not helpful. Can she make cake?

Anything for a friend, Fluttershy.

Oh, just anything you can tell me. What's it about, different traditions, special meanings...how you celebrate it. Anything like that.

Oh well...not exactly. But she can make scarves and sweaters and hats and things like that.

...Or she can make a pillow that looks like a cake...

If something comes to mind, please let me know...but I will try my best just based on what you have told me about yourself Fluttershy.

[She nods.] All right...I'll definitely let you know if I think of something.

[He tips his hat. Thanks Fluttershy.]

You're welcome.

Well, I lived in a church, so I can tell you a few things. Like that it was all about a special kid being born. The story is that the God Father and Sister told me about made this woman, Mary, have His kid. And she and her husband, Joseph, had to travel to a place called Jerusalem to have it. But when they got there, all the inns and stuff were full, so she had to have it in a barn.

A-A barn...? Oh, that must have been very difficult...

I guess so. Yeah. But it was okay. They were just glad the baby was safe. I mean, it's the child of God, so you know...

[He rolls over onto his other side, facing the couch and picking at a loose string.]

The baby's name was Jesus Christ. That's where the name "Christmas" comes from. And he was such a special baby that people from all over came to see him. They followed a star to him. And there were three wise men, they brought gifts for the baby. Gold. Mur. And frank...franken...uh...

[His ears turn pink.]

I forgot the last one. But still! That's why we give gifts.

Oh! I see...so the gifts we give others are symbolic of the gifts they gave to the baby...

But what about the tree? And decorating it? Where does that come from?

Really, you actually want to learn?

[ The last time she tried to convince someone, they made fun of her. ] Once we get things cleaned up here, I'll get right back at you.

[She nodded.] It would make reading things a little easier...And it could be fun to learn too.

Okay. Take your time though.

I'm going to see if I can gather up a couple more people. It'd be a lot more fun to learn with others, right?

[He shrugs.]

I dunno, but the star that people put on top is suppose to be the star the wise men followed to Jeru--Wait, no. That's not right. What did I say before? I meant Bethlehem.

[Yup, he's a little embarrassed at getting it wrong. He huffs and refuses to look at Fluttershy.]

O-Oh...well, yes, I suppose it would.

It would make it easier to practice too, being able to try and talk to each other with it...

[Though she had to admit, she was a bit nervous about trying it out with others around.]
