The clock on the mantle piece completed its last chime as it finished heralding the arrival of midnight. Then it resumed monotonous ticking. Beyond that the only sound in the living room was the sound of small falling debris from the chimney into the now mostly cold fireplace.
This detail was noted by the only occupants of the room. The CMC intently watched the tiny pieces of falling soot. Scootaloo quickly glanced at the bear trap and various obstacles scattered around the fireplace. Then she looked up and checked that the weighted cargo netting hanging above floor. Satisfied with what she saw the pegasi addressed her 2 comrades.
"Okay girls. Follow the plan. If we do this we'll be able to prove that Canter Claus is real."
Meanwhile up on the roof. Discord adjusted his fake beard as he prepared to descend the chimney. Fluttershy had talked him into playing Canter Claus this Hearth's Warming Eve, and so instead being in the nice warm cottage with his wife he was standing on a snow covered roof.
Well lets get this over. He thought. The sooner I finished my rounds. The sooner I can back home to Fluttershy, and I have a special gift for her in my bag.
This is the final piece I started during my recent All Request Picarto stream.

In my personal head-cannon, Discord is also Q from Star Trek. His appearance changes to suit whichever universe he happens to be visiting. Since the same actor plays both roles, I expect I'm not the only person to think this.
He is never going to tell Picard about this adventure!

There was a blindingly white light that flashed in the room in the blink of an eye and, behind the three naughty ponies, a figure appeared unseen by them until, behind them, they heard a booming, "Ho-ho-ho. What have we here? Do my eyes deceive me or do I see three ponies that should have been in bed hours ago?"
Slowly, the three of them turned their heads and looked at the figure. A tall pony dressed in red trimmed in white fur and wearing a long white beard was looking at them with an amused look on his face. Beside him on the floor was a large misshapen bag. He leaned forward from his waist, pointed a finger at them and, with a bemused look on his face, said, "Did you really think that the only way I can enter a home is through the chimney? That's a story I had circulated to keep naughty ponies like you from seeing me enter and leave until you notice the gifts I leave behind."
AppleBloom pointed toward the ceiling and said, in a very soft voice, "But . . ."
Canter Claus looked up and laughed again before saying, "Oh, him!? He's one of my assistants to keep naughty ponies like you distracted. Now, clean up this mess and get yourselves to bed because as long as you're awake, I can't do my job."
The three of them cleaned up the living room in less time than it takes to tell it and scurried off to bed to the sounds of yet another joyful laugh.
I hope you like my little addition to your story, Baron. It came to me as I saw this drawing and read the story you wrote.
