Nightly Roundup #1114

Remember the last time the CMC tried to get two people together? Yeah, it didn't end very well. Oh well, maybe some Hearth's Warming magic will help things along this time.

Sorry for the lack of Roundups lately guys! News has been slower than usual with it being the holidays. Get what you can after the break!

Random Merch: Party Band Set, Pony Sleep Mask, Ornaments, and More!

Thanks to Logic Gate for the image. 

Oh hey, a band set! It's what all you who dream to make it big in the pony music scene have been looking for. I bet that cheap plastic has the most unique sound out there. We could use some unique in pony music with all the dubstep and... dubstep. Lots of dubstep.

You can get that one at Walgreens in San Diego, and below the break, loads more RANDOM MERCH!

Inb4 someone uploads a song with these drums and adds a dubstep track to the background.

Merry Christmas From Fluttershy (Short Shoutout from Andrea Libman)

One of the best parts about pony, and the last decade in general, is how available the talent behind the show is.  Have a bit of Fluttershy singing Jingle Bells, straight from Andrea Libman!

Get it over here.

Brenda Hickey MLP Unannounced Issue SPOC Sneak Peek

Well folks, there's been no announcement with regards to any comic involving Sweetie Belle for the next 3 months as being drawn by Brenda Hickey.

Just what sort of trouble could Sweetie Belle be getting into this time?

Get a short and silly animation from DoubleRainbowDash after the break!

Discussion: Who Should Represent Hearths Warming Eve in Equestria?

It's that time of the year again! Hearths Warming Eve has arrived, and all the ponies are off celebrating by... well aside from the Heart Carol and play, we have no idea! So far MLP has really only had one winter holiday special, and it focused on the history of the world itself.  This gives us a whole bunch of untapped potential to play with.

Assuming Chancellor Puddinghead isn't the go-to Christmas diety for every foal out there to beg for presents from, who do you think they have taking the place of "Santa Claus"?

Have a bullet point guidelines:

• What would their name be? 
• Would it be a Pegasus? Unicorn? Griffon? Earth pony with a team of flying donkeys? 
• Would the seemingly female dominated Equestrian society have a mare as the symbol?
• What would they do? Deliver presents, or something else entirely? 

And feel free to expand on that.

Hit the comments up with your ideas!

Thanks to Stefano for the question idea!
