Balloons are decorations and you blow them up and then put them all over everything so it's nice and festive and everyone has a good time! Doesn't everyone like playing? But I like working too but that barely counts because it's baking. Do you work?
Noooooooo a friend came to visit and it was his first time with hooves and he didn't think it was strange at all. You should visit! We'll have another Welcome to Ponyville party!
