Holidays were always a wonderful time of year.
On New Year's Eve, you got to stay up really late to welcome the start of the new year at a big party.
Valentine's Day, you could show a loved one how much you love them with the sweetest treats, and have an excuse to eat lots of chocolate.
April Fool's Day, pranksters played lots of pranks.
On Halloween, you could scare people for fun, dress as anyone you like, and get treats.
But there was one holiday season everyone loved above all else. The winter holidays.
There were all kinds with different traditions.
Diwali with beautiful oil lamps and fireworks, Kwanzaa with the colorful kinara and storytelling tradition, Hanukkah with its nine days of lighting the manora candles and celebrating prevailing over darkness, and of course, the most celebrated holiday... Life Day, or as it was called in some other worlds... Christmas.
One thing these holidays all have in common: they are always celebrated with family and friends.
People of all ages loved the holidays, and were preparing to get together with their loved ones for the holidays. The Jedi were no exception.
Today, the Temple was being decorated by the Jedi, with help from the royal family and their pony friends.
Jedi:
Lots of voices fill the night
'Cause Life Day Eve is here once again
Happy hearts so full and bright
'Cause Life Day Eve is here once again
Oh, what a sight
Look at the light
All for tonight
'Cause Life Day Eve is here once again
Eeth passed a wreath to Zipp and she flew up high to place it in the perfect spot.
Zipp: Wreaths arranged 'til they're just so
Ponies: 'Cause Life Day Eve is here once again
Gabby: Gonna make some awesome snow
Using her snow magic, Gabby decorated the place with some beautiful snowflakes.
Pegasi: 'Cause Life Day Eve is here once again
Gabby and Lamenta: The chill wind blows
Making a show
Snowflakes aglow
Everyone: 'Cause Life Day Eve is here once again
Meanwhile, Comedia, wearing a green Santa hat, was happily wrapping a present she had for her rider.
Comedia: A day that's filled with songs to sing
Ponies: Ding-dong, ding-dong-ding
Of course, Strawberry Sundae wasted no time getting Mace to help her with baking special pastries for the holidays.
Strawberry: Cakes and pastries we shall bring
Kids: Ding-dong, ding-dong-ding
We're so busy making merry
Windigos should all be wary
Anakin and Carmine: As our mighty voices carry
Peppermint: 'Cause Life Day Eve is here once again
Meanwhile, Sapphire oversaw the children making more decoration, Wrecker lifting some of the heavier stuff.
Sapphire: Decorations we shall make
Children: 'Cause Life Day Eve is here once again
Sapphire: Perfection you just cannot fake
Children: 'Cause Life Day Eve is here once again
Sapphire: Not one mistake
Sapphire quickly became worried when she saw Wrecker getting too curious with some of the ornaments.
Don't let that break
Then Wrecker broke and ornament.
"Oops." Wrecker said.
Sapphire face hoofed and Hunter facepalmed.
Hunter: Oh, goodness' sake!
Everyone: 'Cause Life Day Eve is here once a—
Happy, happy
Life Day Eve
Happy, happy
Life Day Eve
'Cause Life Day Eve is here once again!
Everyone was so excited for the holiday this year. Lately, clavatizations had been down by a lot, which made sense with this time of year being the happiest.
"I think we just got our Life Day wish," said Gabby. "No trouble to worry about."
Boba tied a bow on another gift and said, "Agreed. And with this being the baby twins' first Life Day, it's gonna be even better."
Gabby picked up a basket of Life Day cards she made for everyone. She put on her Santa hat and was ready to deliver.
"Time to deliver my gifts to everyone." Gabby said.
This was the little one's favorite part of Life Day. Giving to others and seeing how happy it made them. Sure, she did that the rest of the year, but something about the holidays just made that good feeling that came from helping others feel even better.
"I wonder what everyone else is gonna be doing for Life Day this year."
