Our marathon takes us not just to the USA, but to hot Las Vegas! In this city of sin, Christmas is loved and celebrated on a grand scale. For several years in a row, the Death Dealers team has been getting together a few days before the holiday and arranging unrestrained fun!

“We had a Christmas party with the White elephant gift exchange game. Basically everyone brings a random present (usually a funny kind) and they go in a pile. 1 by 1 people pick a random present for themselves until they are all gone. You bring a wrapped present and once it’s in the pile no one knows what it is or who it’s from. It’s kind of like christmas present roulette. Only for adults who find embarrassing their friends the funniest thing. Usually there is some trading or negotiations over gifts that are too good or sooooo bad. It is fun and usually causes plenty of laughs”, told Brad Blackmon to us.

We’ll keep secret what Brad got this year, but he says he was more fortunate last year! 

“Everyone laughed and I was stuck with it since no one wanted to trade. The year before I got a bottle of mead! That was a better year”.

It is customary here to celebrate Christmas at home with traditional food and decorations, having time with family and gifts under the New Year tree.

Of course, this friendly and a bit reckless Death Dealers team from Las Vegas conveyed their congratulations to all of us!

“We wish our international fighting community happy holidays and an even happier new year! We know it has been a tough year for everyone around the world but we look forward to putting that behind us and meeting you all in Romania. Pascere Ferro!!!
