Not a creature was stirring, not even a zombie mouse.

The free Coins were hung by the free Silver with care,

In hopes that St. Yeti soon would be there.

The game players were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of a free Vacation Quest danced in their heads.

And Sunflower in her ‘kerchief, and Squash in his cap,

Had just settled their brains for a long winter’s nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

Squash sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window he flew like a kernel from a kernel-pult,

Tore open the shutters and threw open the bolt.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow

Gave the luster of Bejeweled gems to objects below.

Then Squash saw a site that made his eyes go agog,

A miniature sleigh, and eight tiny Zuma frogs.

It had a monstrous old driver, so snowy and sweaty,

He knew in a moment it must be St. Yeti.

More rapid than Lex his coursers they came,

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

“Now Noodles! now, Cuddles! Now, Hercules and Sally!

On, Eduardo! On, Jacques! On Pearl and Sophie!

To the top of the Facebook screen! To the top of the wall!

Now hop away! Hop away! Hop away all!”

And then, in a twinkling, Squash heard on the roof

The prancing and pawing of each little webbed foot.

As Squash drew close wall-nut and a couple puff-shrooms,

Down the chimney St. Yeti came with a big boom.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,

And his solitary hat tarnished with ashes and soot.

A bundle of zombies he had flung on his back,

And he looked like a yeti searching for a midnight snack.

His eyes – how they stared! His dimples like trolls!

His cheeks were like dirt, his nose two empty holes!

His giant gaping mouth was dribbling with drool

And the beard of his chin was as grey as a ghoul.

The thorn from a cactus was tight in his teeth,

And a flower pot rim encircled his head like a wreath.

He had a broad face and a white furry belly,

That shook when he gurgled, like a bowlful of jelly!

He was chubby and slow, a right smelly old zombie,

And Squash, when he saw him, called for the plant posse.

Then a wink of a Yeti eye and a twist of his head,

And for a second every plant was filled with deep dread.

But he ate not a brain, and went straight to his work,

Giving free Coins and Silver to all, then turned with a jerk.

And laying his remaining finger aside of his nose,

And lurching up, up the chimney he rose!

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him groan, ‘ere he drove out of sight,

“Happy Yetidays to all, and to all a good-night!”

Enjoy the holidays and get ready for even more fun-tabulousness in 2013!

This marks not only the first Bejeweled Blitz slot in the world (and perhaps in all worlds, though I haven’t been to all of them, yet), but also the first time you can win a rare gem in Lucky Gem and then use that gem when playing Bejeweled Blitz.  It’s a beautiful thing.

There are lots of other slot-tastic features for both the novice and seasoned slot-o-phile, including lovely match-3 cascading reels, Lock, Multiplier and Cascade Boosts that help you maximize earnings, the ability to receive Boosts from friends, and a Bonus Meter that you can max out to enter the big board bonus round.

So don’t just sit here reading–start spinning and matching gems!

This year, though, it’s a bit different. During the 2012 games, it seems all eyes across this big ol’ ball of earth are focused on the zomb-athletes. Whether it’s archery:

Or boxing:

Or basketball:

These zomb-atheletes are commanding the global spotlight (admittedly, a bit of this spotlight focus is due to the fact that the main Olympic commentator is also a zombie). And I, for one, am quite enamored by their quest for the gold brainz. But then again, I’m only watching them on TV.

PS: Want more zomb-athletes? Then I strongly suggest you head over the Facebook jolly-ness called Lucky Gem Casino to play our new Plants vs. Zombies Summer Brainz slot.

PPS: I fully realize, Philip, that 110% isn’t possible. But these zomb-athletes are bad at math.

Spin and match zombies and plants for your chance to win coins! Get lucky in our bonus rounds and a slew of Zomb-athletes will appear to show off their skills! It’s worth it to play the game just to get a look at these fun animations. Better yet, we’ve got a special treat for our blog readers, 4,000 free coins to get you started. Good luck and happy spinning!
