Fondest greetings, one and all.

Please do be not alarmed by the boxes left on your coffee tables before your waking. They are advent calendars intended as small gifts for your kindness since my arrival. While I understand that not everyone may celebrate the upcoming holidays, I would hope everyone will enjoy them in the spirit in which they were meant.

In addition, please forgive the liberties taken in seeing to their delivery. I can assure you, your trust and security are paramount to me, and I shall endeavor not to abuse either in the future.

Yours in friendship and affection,
Edwin Paine

_{[The boxes contain one advent calendar per person. They aren't fancy or expensive, but they're thoughtful, in that care has been taken to match each recipient with an appropriate theme.]}

	As traditions go, it is one of the nicer ones. Did you have anything similar in your time, Miss Everdeen? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We have birthdays. And reaping day. And when the crops are good, sometimes we have a harvest festival. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Having grown up in the city, I can't say I'm very familiar with festivals of those nature outside of what I've read. It sounds delightful, however. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Reaping day is when tributes are selected for the games. It's a miserable day. The harvest festival is fun though. Lots of dancing and community. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Apologies. I've gone back to your original introduction, and can see now the gravity of your prior situation. Again, my sincerest apologies for the foible. It's good that you were able to cobble together some light in such awful darkness. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's okay. It's so amazing that you don't have to do that here. We had our moments. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Perhaps knowing the future will be the thing that helps us prevent such an outcome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But the fact that I lived it means that it will happen. Because otherwise you wouldn't learn about it. And it would happen. But then I'd be here again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A paradoxical conundrum, to be certain, one predicated by the notion that the timeline in which you have now found yourself is the one which predates your own. (Reply to this) (Parent)
