Well it's a little late, but here's a Christmas fanfic! Woo! And after this I will continue Half Moon, because I promised my friend I would.
By the way: this doesn't purposely imply any pairings, I just needed some people to fill the characters in, and randomly chose those who I thought would fit the best. It's just for pure lunacy and fun.
The character's aren't mine, all except for Amy, who wouldn't have been included if any of the ninja even had a clue on what Christmas was. Which they don't. So enjoy!

Amy tugged a hat onto Neji's head with a grin. "Look it, he's Santa Claus!"
Neji was NOT amused. "Get this thing off of me," he said. "Now."
"No, thanks." Amy whipped out a second hat and shoved it on Rock Lee's head and then was gone in a flash. "Merry Christmas!" she called to them. "And tell Tenten I'm saying it to her, too!"
"Neji, what do you suppose Christmas is?" Lee asked in confusion.
Tearing off the red and white hat off of his head, inspecting it. "How should I know?"
"Then I'm gonna find out! 'Cause these hats are cool!" With his Rock Lee grin, the ninja in green rushed off toward the village.
[this had nothing to do with the story, I just wanted to put Neji in a santa hat]

"Don't even try."
Amy sweat dropped, santa hat poised in mid-air, a foot away from being put on Sasuke's head. "Crud."
Sasuke gave her a side glance. "What are you doing, moron?"
"Giving out santa hats! You get one, too!" She finished the hat's journey and plopped it on his head, then tossed one to Naruto, who was scrutinizing her from his seat on a stump.
"Santa? Who's he?" Naruto studied the hat suspiciously.
"Naruto, I think it may be a place," Sakura said. "Is it, Amy?"
"Sorry, Sakura, but Santa Claus IS a person. He delivers presents to people on Christmas, December 24th and 25th. He rides in a sleigh pulled by 8 reindeer and goes around at the midnight between both of those days and puts the gifts under the tree."
" 'The tree?' " Sasuke arched an eyebrow.
"Yup, the Christmas tree. You drag an evergreen into the house, decorate it with ornaments and garland and holly and lights, and put Christmas presents under it, until Christmas Day, the 25th, where everyone opens them!"
"Oookay..." Naruto said. He had no clue what she was talking about.
Amy wasn't done, though. "Christmas is all about giving and caring for others! Love and family and cheerfulness and all that."
"Bah, humbug..." muttered Sasuke.
Amy whirled to him in surprise. "What! What did you say!!"
Sasuke jumped a little, thrown off slightly by her reaction. "B-bahumbug?" he asked, trying to collect his cool again.
"Aha! You're a Scrooge!" Amy declared. "A Mr. Scrooge! You don't belive in the spirit of Christmas even an ounce, I bet!"
"No, not really. I hardly even know what it is. Love and cheerfulness and all of that though sounds too goody-two-shoes to me."
"That, my emo-panda friend, is where you are wrong!"
Sakura cut in, "Erm, amy, who exactly is Mr. Scrooge?"
"Good question! He was a grumpy old guy who owned a factory and made his workers work even on Christmas! There's a whole story about him, and how he is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve. After he gets a talking-to from the ghosts, the Scrooge gets into the Christmas spirit, and becomes a nicer, kinder man for it!"
"What idiocy. See you guys later." Sasuke stood from leaning on the tree, walking off down the dirt road back to the village.
As he was disappearing in the distance, Naruto finally chucklled, "Does he even know he still has that hat on?"
