my second to last planned Christmas piece I wanted to complete this year

so this is basically an illustration of my VERY old MLP:FIM headcanon (old as in my cringe 2014 deviantArt era) in which I borrowed inspiration from another artist. Anyway, here’s Equestria’s version of Santa Claus, who’s a reindeer named North Star who hauls his own sleigh to deliver presents to ponies

and the fact that reindeer are now canon to the MLP universe (in the Best Gift Ever special) made it even easier for me to redesign him
