"Oh what fun, it is to ride, in a Thorax open sleigh …"

A cozy little piece of Christmas themed art that I wanted to do for the holidays.
And boy was this a time consuming piece. With all the ponies and the details and the color.

I don't think I have ever drawn all of the mane 6 together like this before. (or is it mane 7? Or mane 8? Or 10?)
(Counting Starlight and Trixie And Thorax and Spike.)

Starlight is basically part of the main cast now — and Spike has been there from the beginning. Trixie had to be included for her contributions to season 6 — And thorax, well, not only is he one of my favorite new characters — But with how much he looks like a Reindeer after his metamorphosis, I just could not resist putting him in front of a sleigh.

I hope this picture gives you some cozy Christmas spirit,
I know it did for me.

Merry Christmas everybody. And a toast to 9 magical seasons of MLP.
(originally drew this after the 6th season — but what the heck. Its the gift that keeps on giving.)
