Your ocs and the Holidays

[Moonstarleader10101 39]

Title says it all, figured it was a topical question, so what your ocs doing for the holidays? Not necessarily hearth's warming, we know different species in mlp have their own traditions, but what are your mlp ocs doing this year, put it here cause I didn't know where to put it.

I think my oc would be at home, having a nice dinner and relaxing safe in the knowledge that he has nowhere to go and nothing to do.

Wind Walker is spending the holiday season with @ExplosionMare‘s OC Pencil Pouch because

Rarity will be on a trip with her family during Hearth’s Warming and Pencil Pouch drew my OC’s name out of a hat in a “Bird Boarding”

charity auction for ducks/Aliquack’s who are unable to fly home for the holidays. 🦆🦄

Currently, my OC would be a little sad because he doesn't have a girlfriend.
(That's a reference to how the Japanese celebrate Christmas.)
But still, he would work hard to make sure everpony in his home town are safe to enjoy Christmas however they want!

So... he is experiencing the usual version of Valentine's?

Thank You! Wind Walker works with Rarity and Rarity allows Wind live in the Carousel Boutique

as a favor to me because Rarity is my best friend from Ponyville.

Ooh, this is a fantastic opportunity to explore a unique moment with deep cultural ties for a fictional character! I hadn't considered this for world building but what a way to go about it!

Mine personally, SharpWit is catching an extra late flight out of Canterlot. He had to stay behind for some finalization of some proposed legislation so the offices of the capital are awfully quiet. Once he does make it to the station, he has to wait an extra hour for the weather to clear. An especially heavy snowfall was scheduled to make up for a loss of melt over the previous summer. Though it interferes with the timing of his airship, it's the least impactful as it would have the fewest passengers and isn't a connecting flight. He's tense from the cold, but boards the airship with excitement. Only four other passengers get on with him, on a vessel capable of holding a hundred with ease. One a unicorn, is instantly upset that the onboard cafe is closed for the evening, and begrudgingly pour themselves some from the lukewarm pot that's been left out. They use their magic to add three sachets of sugar and give it a swirl before grumbling to themselves off in a corner. Then there's the young couple who mind not the late hour or the cold, for the find warmth in each other, and to those not too bitterly hardened by the brunt of the day, that warmth is infectious via their coy whispers and hushed giggles. The final passenger is an older gentleman. He lands himself in a seat he's all too familiar with. Sharp has seen him a few times before, and as always, he's promptly passed out before they've even set off. Sharp strides to the front of the airship, smiles and nods at a tired crewmate who looks confused, before stepping back out into the cold, making his way to rest against the railing at the bow of the ship. The Captain finishes the same announcement he's heard many times before for the route, and off they go. The wind carries Sharp's mane back in a blaze of glory. It's freezing chill is no bother in the face of exhilaration, for here his responsibilities are left behind and the mind of a foal comes to the forefront. He will savor the sense of adventure until he finds his wings too stiff to shake loose the beard of ice that has grown about his maw. Then he will return to the cabin to thaw. Seeing the couple have drifted off as well, and that he may as well get some shut eye. Five hours from now, he'll be home, surrounded by loved ones who've saved the last of the marshmallows for his cup of cocoa.

For a lot of people in Japan, that's basically what Christmas is.
But don't worry too much about him. He won't suffer.  He has friends, family, and every reason to keep his head high no matter what.

I mean its a perfect question for ocs everywhere in mlp's universe, besides wouldn't it be smart to ask what they are doing on this day of hearth's warming eve?

I like this question a lot. My answer is it depends. My oc is still in the beginning of her story and such will still be all alone in this abandoned mansion playing haunting music. The eventual end point for her is she eventually makes friends and is no longer living alone in a run down mansion. She would move to live and be with the other ponies while learning how to take part in such events like celebrating the holidays. These sort of experiences would be new to her as she only really knows being alone and with her viola.
