So here it is, the culmination of over six years of a story(this makes it sound like there was a plan all along, as opposed to me just winging it every year like I actually did).

This is easily the biggest comic I have ever made, by almost ten panels. So necessary to say there’s a lot to get into here in the description. (Also I’m sorry if it takes a while to load being such a large file, but please try to avoid the description before you read the comic to avoid spoilers).

First of all, from the comments I got over the course of this year’s ‘TvHWE’, it was obvious to me there were going to be some people who aren’t happy with the ending. Some people wanted a bittersweet ending where <del>Ghost</del> Aunt Bea still died in the blizzard but Trixie still manages to become a good pony. While some were wanting other less happy conclusions.

I apologize that this may not have been the climax you wanted, but I’m not going to lie, I’m an absolute sucker for a happy ending, especially in Christmas stories(I cry watching It’s a Wonderful Life’ every year).

With only so many panels and Trixie being at her parent’s house I wasn’t able to make as many differences to “the timeline” as I would’ve liked. I threw a few things in there, like I added taped pictures to the mirror in Trixie’s room(each with a little bit of Aunt Bea in them), and Jack Pot not being worried about blizzards anymore.

I realize there are some unanswered questions, but I wanted to make sure all of the big ones were taken care of, and I didn’t want to make a whole extra comic that just turned into a “Question and Answers” segment. I do have actual answers for the questions that I didn’t get to in this comic, so instead what I will be doing is answering any questions yall might have in the comments.

As I said last year in the journal concerning the future of ‘Trixie Vs. Hearth’s Warming’, I’m not closing the door on it, I can easily see me putting out shorter comics come future Christmases. I just do not believe I’ll do anymore with the size or seriousness(since this is at it’s heart a light comedy) of this year, or last year’s story of Trixie trying to steal Hearth’s Warming.

With this story starting as just a funny spoof of ‘A Christmas Carol’ I thought ending it with a relevant quote from the book would be fitting.
