Snowfall Frost: I…I have something to say…to everypony gathered here today…



*Snowfall Frost clears her throat*



Snowfall Frost: A Happy Hearth’s Warming to everypony, and a happy new year! Those words have scarsely passed my lips, and certainly not in a good many year. That is my own shame. As is the miserly way I treated all of you. My hatred of the summer…my fear of the rain…my anger at my diet being thrown out of order…all of that has led me to this path. I have been shown the error of my ways and given one last chance to correct this path, and I swear I will not squander this gift. It is my failings that have brought ignorance and want upon you. A disease that kills the sense of friendship and family that Hearth’s Warming is truly about. This contagious bitternes has robbed of the opportunity to partake in the joyful celebration you so richly deserve. Know this…I am truly sorry. In my pledge to keep the spirit of Hearth’s Warming Eve in my heart, I say to you…you shall suffer no more. I shall suffer no more. None of us shall keep suffering. May the fear and rage be gone, and only peace remain. Because even in the hottest of summers…even with the digestive system not working at full capacity…even with the loudest music or the booming of the fireworks…we can still find peace and joy. Now, let us celebrate with all of our loved ones, and rejoice as much as our minds and souls allow.
