Description
"...and Firestrike just... jumps in, and digs like crazy, and comes out with something in her mouth mumbling 'is this it?' and I want to tell her 'No, I just need scissors to cut the ribbon!', but as soon as I get to 'No,' she's already back in the box, and out, with some fresh piece I've never seen. And before you know it, I'm enjoying it, like it's a game! Just think about a moment like that you would be missing if it weren't for your friends!"
Commission for xBeautifulDreamerx , bringing festive mood with Cuddlebug , 3vilpyro 's Firestrike , and Khimi-chan 's Polly .
EDIT: Now with more ugly, yet warm and cuddly, sweaters!
Now on tumblr !
TechnicalStill image created with inkscape .
The animations were made and exported with aniGen .
Exported with Adasek's SVGRender . Since new Firefox seems to disagree with it, I'm using an old version 11.0.
More ponies than usual, and the initial idea for the scene being rather cramped led to some issues with composition. And I'm not that used to vectoring ponies from behind, I'm afraid. (I know, weird.)
You too can make animations with AniGen !

I'ts taken me a full day to process just how wonderful this is. The background is beautiful and I adore the snowdrift in the foreground 
I honestly can't describe just how adorable you've made Fire Strike with that particular look on her face and her fruitless rummaging ^^
I'd love to know whose idea the Clockwork Orange reference was! xD
This is just... incredibly precious and I'm going to have to buy myself a digital photo frame so that it can be properly displayed.
Thank you MisterAibo for all the work this must have taken and for accepting Dreamer's commission
xBeautifulDreamerx I can't start going into what a wonderful friend you are because I'll never ever stop <3 my friendship with you and Khimi-chan is one of the best things to come out of my life of nerdery. Thank you for such a wonderful gift <3
OT3 forever!

Good eye, it's the Element of Magic (no crown). I wanted Fire Strike to blink each time she got out, but this just seemed more fitting - like she wants to waste no time getting back into the infinite box of strange treasure.
I thought of the Clockwork Orange thing when I was rummaging through my resources folder - basically my own box of odds and ends - and found that bowler hat. My second though was "wait, is that Alex' hat?" and rest is hilarious history.
I'd love to do more with the tree. Perhaps for another season?
Or maybe for the New Year's?

I like the head bobbing up and down with different items, and the filly going "Nope. Nuh uh. That's not right." So funny!

Yeah, I love using parallax scrolling, even if I still suck at it. But sometimes, it almost looks 3D, and that's just amazing.

I know I've said this a million times, but thank you once again! It's amazing to see our characters come to life - especially together. 
Your attention to detail is fantastic, I'm beyond thrilled that you chose to accept this commission.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

JHSAUFNDSFUNSDFN I love that neapolitan pony. Polly, her name was? ;/////;

I know, she looks like a dessert! I love it!
Actually, in one version, I had her mane flow, kinda like Celestia's, only more like... swirling ice cream. But I scrapped the idea in the end, it was too distracting.

I feel like my brain can't do this justice, I've been trying to comment since last night but then I get stupid fingers and I just love everything about this. ; -; <3333
Strike popping up with the little pencil, she probably took the screwdriver from Precious Metal somehow, freaking dapper hat...
Meanwhile Polly's over here deciding which ornament has more sentiment or something (in an adorable new outfit omg) and Cuddle is Too polite to tell Strike to hand her he dang tape, I'm gonna cry. <3333 TT ATT
Thank you so much for putting such amazing care and work behind this. <33

And I am soooo sorry that I had to shoot Polly from such unflattering angle! I love your designs, they're vibrant, yet still tasteful, and your vectoring skills are spot on. Those SU OCs are too cool.

Pfffft what'chu talkin about, she looks fabulous! <3
i myself have been too afraid to tackle the monster that is back of her mane, I applaud you sir, you nailed it.
My brainchildren are an explosion of tacky and I love them all xD;;
thank you so much. <33

Haha, if you just knew what I did to that beautiful dessert mane! Btw, she has no ear. It wouldn't cooperate with the mane, I had to get rid of it. XD
Edit: And thank you for that ribbon. It saved the whole thing - I used it to cover the worse of my shortcuts.

I'm not even joking, the first time anyone saw the back of her mane was krowzivitch sculpting her and I'm still grateful she didn't come with a restraining order...
It is a magic ribbon after all xD;

Awww xD this is so cute!! I wonder where Fire Strike got all this stuff!

I'm sure she has a good story behind each item, even if she doesn't remember how she actually came about them.
