After getting attacked by Temari and beating up Kankuro, Gaara decided to find out what Christmas was bout on his own. So Gaara went around town listening to conversations and songs. He also went in and out of holiday stores to check it out.

As he entered a theater the conductor, a civilian, told the choir to start "Gaara the Sandman". To say the least he was intrigued

"Gaara the Sandman
Was a evil nasty soul
With a corncob knife and a button sword
And two eyes as mean as coal

Gaara the Sandman
Is a fairytale they say
He was made of sand
But the children know
How he came to life one day

There must have been some magic
In that old gourd that they found
For when they placed it on his back
He began to dance around

Gaara the Sandman
Was alive as he could be
And the children say
He could laugh and play
But not like you and me

Gaara the Sandman
Knew tit was gonna be really windy day
So he said run!
And I'll have some fun
Now before I blow away

Down to the village
With a sharp stick in his hand
Running here and there all around the square
Saying catch me if you can

He chased them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler stop

Gaara the Sandman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye
Saying don't you cry
I'll be back again some day

Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Gaara trot

Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of tots,"

When Gaara started to hysterically the choir and conductor screamed as they ran out of theater.
