'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the arena, not a creature was stirring, not even a--
Nevermind, there's plenty stirring here. Tributes still in the arena will, on the stroke of midnight, find that a
change comes over the spaceport for this very special day only.
The little green men are wearing little elf outfits; the turrets suddenly start to play out Christmas carols in jaunty electronic voices and in addition to the existing threats miniature
robot Santas will now be walking around the arena, dubbing Tributes naughty or nice (and if you’re naughty beware, these little fellows can be explosive when riled).
Not only this but in the more open rooms of the Arena snow will be gently falling. Sure it might seem harmless at first but anyone trying to catch these snowflakes on their tongues will find themselves having an extreme allergic reaction, swelling and all. Not a very fun way to spend the holiday.
But rejoice! In addition to all this the Capitol has decided no one should be without this holiday season, so depending on their District, Tribute’s will receive a special gift for the final week of the arena, exquisitely giftwrapped with their names on the tags. These are:
District 1: Gold ornaments
District 2: Toothbrush with peppermint toothpaste
District 3: Small electronic dancing reindeer that blares obnoxious christmas songs
District 4: Jar of
gefilte fishDistrict 5: Tangled Christmas lights
District 6: Toy train
District 7: Christmas wreaths
District 8: Santa hats
District 9: Sprigs of mistletoe
District 10: Uncooked cocktail sausages
District 11: Fruitcake
District 12: Lumps of coal
Happy Holidays, everyone!
