A/N(Glossy):What's up everyone? This is my winter break hunger games marathon! Anyone who wants to participate, look at the forums for more details. It's going to be awesome and done really fast with shorter, but more frequent chapters than FL or CYE. Submissions are pretty much first come first serve providing I know you or you are a good author. I will not turn anyone down, but I may limit the amount of tributes you can have if you seem to be a new author since I have had issues in the past.

Head Gamemaker
It's my first year. The other gamemakers already resent me. They were all trying for the slot, but Coriolanus, my friend from Panem Prep, gave me the slot as his first act as president. I'm the third gamemaker, and I plan on being here for a long time. My arena has been something that Coriolanus and I have worked on for a long time and he will be helping me in my gamemaking duties.
The arena was made for Coriolanus's namesake and is a beautiful place. The idea comes from a holiday from a long time ago, known as Christmas. There was this jolly fat man and these little elves that made toys and whatnot, and even flying reindeer. These were all wonderful tales at the time, but I have the power to put them to life in the arena.
The best part of the arena is something that I stumbled across. It was a movie that showed a creature, known as the Grinch, try to ruin Christmas. I'll be using him to ruin the tribute's days, and in some cases ending them.
The arena is quite simple. In the center is Santa's village which includes large toy building workshops, reindeer stables, a cabin for Santa, and a large square with a Christmas tree. The rest of the arena includes a frozen lake, pine trees dusted with snow, and an ice castle inhabited by snowmen. At first glance, it may look like I am not taking the Games seriously, but when they see how deadly my arena is, people will respect me as the next legendary gamemaker.
