The season of giving continues with another Season 8.5 Holiday Gift! Today’s comic follows everyone’s favorite dragon Spike as he tries to get a gift for a very special pony in his life… specifically, just ONE special pony in particular. Screw the other 5, I guess. But little Spike must learn that not everything can go according to plan…
 
I’m actually a little surprised something like this DIDN’T happen in the actual special; drawing your own name is the bane of all Secret Santa-type arrangements such as this one, and if I did the math correctly then there’s about a 2 out of 3 chance that at least one pony/dragon would’ve drawn their own name and needed to trade anyway. Fiction is weird sometimes.
 
Hope you all remember not to neglect all the people that are important in your life! Happy holidays, everypony!
