I actually didn't like this episode, it was more of a "meh" episode for me. I thought the topic in subject was a good one but it could have been executed a bit better. I thought Pinkie Pies family wasn't relate able and they didn't even really have a personality. I like the continuity in the episode, and the Spikes first Harthswarming story was sweet. I did like when Pinkie and Applejack were in the mines, because not only did it let us see what they were thinking, but it also helped to move the plot along. Was it only me, or was Pinkie and Applejack talking at the same time just adorable? (Insert Smosh video here ) I'm not ashamed to say it, this episode brought a tear to my eye. I thought some of the traditions the Pies had were cute, and it showed how Pinkie Pie grew up. They subtle hinted about Christ- *cough cough* Harthwarming not just being about presents, but about spending time with your family. This episode defiantly isn't on my top ten list of favorite episodes, but it is an episode I would watch over. I really really like the Harthswarming dolls, they are really adorable and shows that the staff is paying attention to detail, which seems to be something they are doing more and more. Good job writer person guy!
