Lunar Observance
With Hearth's Warming Eve approaching, we, the citizens of Ponyville (and Equestria as whole), should take our time and energy to observe the traditions passed down through the years as Equestrians! In order to do that, we would like to ask anyone who wants to volunteer to help us in making this year's Hearth's Warming Eve a bright and festive one for all of Ponyville! ~Twilight Sparkle
The Story: Originally in the old days of Equestria, ponies placed candles at night in rememberance of the fire of friendship that burned to keep Clover the Clever, Private Pansy and Smart Cookie alive under the assault of the Wendigos before the founding of Equestria! This was typically done on the longest, coldest night of the year: the Winter Solistace.
After the rise of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, the solstices were used as days to honor their respective Princesses, but with the first defeat of Nightmare Moon, the Winter Solstice celebrations faded out of favor.
However! Now that Princess Luna has returned and been restored to her former grace, it would be impolite if we didn't kick off the Hearth's Warming season with the traditional opening ceremony! And so, we celebrate the founding of Equestria, Friendship, and the return of Princess Luna with a simple vigil as we open the Hearth's Warming Season.
Hey everypony! You ready for some fun? Because we're gonna have some! There'll be snow ball fights and sled races, prizes for both, snacks in between, and lots of fun with friends!
Hey yall! From this point forward the events in the Season 4 opener are now canon and the site is
