Ever since we moved, don't come here as often. To the castle. Mostly to see people, or use gym. Glad I did, today.

[Seriously, she's never seen Christmas decorations quite like this before, and that tree? It's kind of amazing.]

Decorations look really nice. Some are weird, though. Pretty sure dolls... shouldn't be that creepy.

[She's not a big fan of the Nutcrackers, okay. But, she can be found in the Castle today, whether it's in the library trying to practice her reading skills or in the gym punching the crap out of a punching bag. By the time she's made it to the gym she's snagged a mistletoe from one of the doorways with the intention of taking it back home to decorate the Bathaus, because what's a little vandalism in the name of the holiday spirit, right?]

I didn't hear it on the radio

I don't know how other worlds do it, but in the good old U. S. we go pretty crazy for Christmas. A lot of radio stations start playing Christmas music in October, and all the stores start selling their Christmas stuff around that time too. Oh, and Black Friday? Just... never go shopping on Black Friday unless you have no love for your life.

Last Christmas I celebrated back home, I was trying not to be killed by gorgons. So I'm thinking Paradisa's going to be an improvement.

Christmas time again.

[Katniss's voice is soft, and sad, as she plays with the laces on her boots. She's looking out the windows at the soft, white snow that is gathering on the ground.] This time of year always reminds me of Gale, and Peeta, and back home. When things were at their worst, they were still with me. I miss them, every single day.

[She sighed, quietly, before she got up and went to the window.] I know you're still here, my friends and my family. I've been thinking ... maybe I should come back to the Castle for the winter. I don't really want to but - I don't know.

[She touched the glass.] It seems like a bad time, to be alone.
