Not a prompt but a one shot for christmas I came up with.

The last few days had been all to please Effie Trinkets excitement for shopping. She took the train and visited all the Districts in oder to pick some christmas presents for her loves ones. She mainly picked something for Katniss, Peeta, Haymitch, Prim, Cinna and Portia. Mrs. Everdeen, too, would get something from Effie.

Earlier than thought, Effie finished her shopping and sat on the same evening, the evening she got the last presents, in the train. Along with her seven small packages with presents in the,

When the train arrived in District 12, her first way was to her own house, where she put down her things, before she left for Haymitch'. She could just imagine how he must have spent the last few days without her. After all, she did know him for some years now.

Her former partner gaver her the key to his house, just in case there was a emergency and she needed it. This time, she wanted to surprise him, and opened the doore quietly and entered the house. She could hear him talk to himself.

"It's just like every other days of the year. Why does one have to make a big thing about it?", she heard him saying and had to smile a bit. He behaved just like she knew him, complaining about this time of the year.

Would he be very surprised, if she answered him? She meant to do just that. "One has to make a big thing about it, because one wants to celebrate the being together with the love ones, Haymitch."

And he really didn't reckon to hear her voice. In this moment, she stepped into his view and her smile grew a bit. At the look of his face, she wanted to explain to him why she was already at home. When he said, he missed her, she laughted for a moment and asked him, with hope in her voice, if he at least didn't pull back into his house.

But she didn't expect something else. "Tomorrow, we will visit the children, Haymitch. After all, I haven't seen them for days and it would do you no harm, my dear.", Effie said and nodded shortly after that.
She then sat down onto the sofa, Haymitch rose up from but sat down again, and snuggled into his side.

Even if she never even thought she would be thinking like that, she really missed District 12. It seemed like it needed a rebellion to let her see where she belonged to. District 12, not the Kapitol.

Better late than never, right?
Besides, the majority of the people she cared about deeply lived in 12, too. Except von Cinna, Portia, Finnick and Annie, everyone lived in District 12. Soon she would be seeing these four again. She had tried to avoid seeing them while being on her trip, in order to keep her excitement for christmas eve to see them again

Effie just loved the holidays!
