Sai settled down with his paper and ink. He knew that Christmas cards were an important part of the Christmas tradition and that they were something you give to those you have strong bonds with, so he was going to give this a try.
Carefully he folded a piece of paper in half and drew a beautiful snowflake on the front. Then, after chewing on the end of his brush for a moment while he thought up the perfect thing to write inside he dipped his brush in the ink.
Dear Sakura, Merry Christmas. May this season be filled with flakes for you. Love Sai
Satisfied that he had offered his only female teammate an appropriate seasonal greeting he moved on.
After folding another paper in half he drew a simple star. This one would be for Yamato and he wanted it to mean something special since they were both Anbu. Most people wishes for things, hmmm, Sai chewed on his brush for a moment.
Dear Yamato, May the season be filled with wood for you. Love Sai
His next card would be for Kakashi. He smiled, he knew exactly what he wanted to say to him.
Dear Kakashi, Merry Christmas! May all your presents be...
Before he could finish he heard a knock on his door. Opening it he was surprised to see Sakura with a gift. "You didn't have to get me anything, Sakura."
"Oh don't worry. I didn't." She replied sweetly. "I'm delivering this to Jiraiya and I wondered if you wanted to go with me. We could go ice skating when we're done."
"Of course. Just let me put my supplies away." Sai happily put his brush and ink away, to finish his cards later and joined Sakura at the door. "Sakura, I think I am really beginning to understand the holiday season a little more."
