Time Off From Work To Play

After breakfast, Zecora and I accompanied Spike to the train station where he caught the mid morning train to the Crystal Empire. The train was packed with ponies again. It's the last day of the Crystal Empire Winter Festival, and Spike is presiding over the closing ceremonies. And lighting the fireworks, no doubt. Thus ends another successful Winter Festival. The ice statues will remain but the events are over and the ice castle will get dismantled so that it doesn't fall on anypony when it melts in the spring.

Half the winter is over. Before you know it, it will be time to wrap up winter and wake up the critters. Enjoy the peace and stillness the cold brings us while you can.
