11th December
Sakura and her mentor were on their way to Suna to have a big meeting together with Gaara about what to do with the threat from Iwagakure. Halfway to Suna, all the snow was gone, and even though it wasn't very warm it was way warmer than it had been in Konoha. "Sakura" Tsunade said
"Yes, Tsunade-sama?" Sakura asked.
"Any thoughts about how you're going to spend Christmas?"
"Well, I do hope that my team is home for Christmas so we can celebrate it together" Sakura smiled wishfully.
"That sounds lovely" Tsunade said, remembering the Christmases she spent with her old team.
"How will you spend yours then?" Sakura asked curious.
"Getting drunk with Jiraya I guess." Tsunade gave a small laugh.
"Sounds…" Sakura thought for a short while "…nice?!"
"Its tradition" She gave Sakura a wink.

Sakura and Tsunade entered the village and was greeted by the kazekage him self.
"Tsunade-sama" Gaara gave her a light bow.
"Gaara-sama" She said with mutual respect for the young kazekage.
"Hello Gaara" Sakura said and gave him a quick hug.
"Hi Sakura. It's nice seeing you again" He said and she gave him a smile.
"Should we maybe go to my office and start the meeting?"
"Sounds like an Idea" Tsunade said and after a quick walk through the town, the meeting started.
They spent many hours that day talking about the Iwa-situation. Late that night Sakura and Tsunade came back to their hotel. Still they hadn't come to a solution, they would continue tomorrow.
Sakura was in her room, knitting and enjoying the sounds of another town than her own.
'Today is a simple day' she thought as she knitted. 'Nothing has really happened, but I'm happy with that. Simple days are nice!"
