Daytime

The wind and snow are beginning to subside.

We're using the generator to run the lights, refrigerators, and ovens, but not much else.

"I think we should sing Christmas carols today!" Velvet says brightly.

"Oh no," Twilight says. "God no..."

"Hey, you're right, Vel," Night Light says. "It is tradition..."

"Mom...Dad...don't do this to me...please..." Twilight looks like she's going to have a panic attack.

Shining Armor gets an evil smirk. "Hey, that's right...we do have that one family tradition..."

"I will bite somebody!" Twilight says. She's completely freaking out...

Pinkie blinks. "What's gotten into Twi-Twi?"

"Twi-Twi?" I ask.

"That's my new nickname for her," Pinkie says.

Velvet smiles sunnily. "I did happen to bring it," she says. "Even made sure it'll still fit..."

"Oh God Mom NO," Twilight moans.

"You know, on the one hand, I feel really sorry for Twilight and want to stop you guys from doing this to her," Cadance says. "On the other hand..." She covers a smirk. "It...it is pretty funny...and so cute..." She looks at me and grins. "And wait until Flash sees it!"

"CADANCE!" Twilight howls. "NOT YOU TOO!"

"Let's take Twiley upstairs and get her ready," Velvet says with a smile. She and Cadance frog-march Twilight upstairs, with Twilight flailing and whining the whole way.

"What the hell was that all about?" I ask.

Shining Armor grins. "You'll see..."

Ten minutes later, Velvet calls out, "We're ready!"

Twilight shuffles into the lounge.

I can't believe what I'm seeing.

Pinkie breaks into giggles, clutching her stomach and doubling over. "Oh...oh my gosh, Twi-Twi, you..."

"Ha. Ha," Twilight says flatly.

We spend the rest of the day singing Christmas carols. Twilight is incredibly surly the entire time. I honestly can't blame her. This is just cruel...

Evening

After dinner, the lights flicker briefly. Shining Armor's phone chimes loudly.

"Power's back on," he says. "I'll go shut off the generator."

"Thank goodness," Velvet says. "We've got so much cooking to do tomorrow..."

"We'd better get started on some of it tonight," Cadance says.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve...
