Yeah 50 reviews! Thanks guys!
And just to say it, Shino didn't write a letter to Santa, because he doesn't believe in him. Enjoy!

"Next is the Hyuuga household." Temari explained as they flew through the cold night sky. Kankuro turned appropriately, and Gaara just sat there.
They landed on the roof, and slid down the chimney without any hassle.
"Geez, this place is gigantic!" Kankuro awed, looking at the expansive building. The tree was also very large. Gaara picked up the letter.
"It says the girl wants Naruto merchandise (whatever the hell that is) and the boy wants the main branch to die. I'll go arrange the second wish."
Kankuro and Temari jumped at Gaara, but he just pushed them back with sand.
"Relax, I was kidding."
"You can kid?" Temari asked. Gaara just glared, and went to find the kitchen. He indeed located it, and popped open the fridge. He got about two spoonfuls of jello in his mouth when he heard a low moaning. Gaara looked at the other side of the kitchen and saw a terrifying figure standing there. He had his long hair draped around his face, yet you could still see his bloodshot, pupil less eyes behind it. He was wearing loose white pajamas, and started shuffling towards Gaara. Gaara left.
"Okay, I think that's all the presents." Kankuro huffed, hoisting the sack back over his shoulder. Gaara walked into the living room.
"There's a ghost in the kitchen." He said, before scuttling up the chimney.
"What?" Temari asked, but then a cold hand placed itself on her shoulder. She turned around to see the terrifying figure preparing to gentle fist her. She screamed like a banshee and punched it really hard in the face. She and Kankuro scrambled up that chimney so fast it would hurt your eyes if you saw it.
"Go go go!" Temari yelled as they jumped into the sleigh. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they left the house.
"That was a close one!" Kankuro smiled as he turned around to see his siblings. But instead, he saw his siblings with a scary ghost behind their backs. It raised its hand in an attempt to gentle fist Gaara, so Kankuro grabbed something out of Santa's sack and chucked it at the horrible figure.
"Suck brick freak!" Kankuro cried as the brick connected solidly with the apparition's face. It toppled off the side of the sleigh, and they all watched as it fell onto a frozen pond, breaking right through the ice and landing in the frigid water.
"Victory for Kankuro!" he shouted, pumping his fist in the air.
"Uh, guys, I think that was Neji. We might have just killed him." Temari whispered.
"Oh." Kankuro paused. "But he was cadet branch, right?"
"I guess, but..."
"Good, so it's not like we killed anyone they liked. Remember, this never happened."
"Kankuro..."
"Never. Happened."
Gaara just silently sat there, thinking about how the Hyuugas had bad taste in Jello flavors.
"Fine, it didn't happen. Next is Sakura's house." Temari sighed.
Minutes later, they were in Sakura's house, and tromping about.
"Wow, this house is really boring." Gaara complained.
"Gaara, we're not here to have fun." Temari ordered.
"According to her." Kankuro chuckled. He then proceeded to shove Temari over the coffee table, which made a loud crashing noise. Gaara cracked a smile.
"You asshole, what was that for?" Temari shouted.
"What's going on?"
The three of them looked up to see Sakura coming downstairs, rubbing her eyes.
"...Gaara?" she wondered, looking at the sand boy sitting on the couch in an elf suit.
"That's it, she dies."
Kankuro and Temari grabbed Gaara, and started dragging him away. The sand licked at Sakura's feet.
"Come on, let me do it. She's not popular or anything. Please, just this once. I won't kill anyone else tonight. Kankuro, weren't you just defending fun?"
Sakura took a quick pic with her handy camera.
"No you didn't. I'll kill you, you pink haired witch. Let me go NOW."
But Temari and Kankuro weren't listening, and whisked him up the chimney.
"Wow, that was weird." Sakura mused. She then looked at the picture on her camera. "But this is one heck of a Christmas present."
As the sleigh flew through the night air, Gaara had sand tightly wrapped around his two siblings.
"I really ought to kill you two right now."
"Gaara, we were just OW!" Temari yelped as Gaara tightened the sand a little bit.
"But I won't kill you, because I can't drive this thing, and I despise doing chores around the house."
Kankuro and Temari sighed in relief as the sand retreated.
"Where to next?" Kankuro asked.
"Rock Lee's house."
The three of them involuntarily shuddered, thinking of what lay ahead.
They landed on the roof and got down the chimney without any hassles. Kankuro began eating the cookies while reading over Lee's letter.
"Dear Santa, I wish for nothing except youthfulness to be spread throughout Konoha! I even bought a present for you!"
Kankuro put down the letter and picked up the package on the floor.
"Aww, that's sweet." he said, and opened it. "The hell...?"
It was a trademark Lee spandex suit.
"Merry Christmas Gaara." Kankuro said, tossing the spandex to Gaara.
"Get those away from me."
Temari laughed while her brothers argued, and just happened to look towards the hallway. There was a frightening eye peering around the corner, almost glowing in the dim light.
"AH!" she yelled, jumping back.
"What?" Kankuro asked, slightly annoyed.
"Someone's over there!"
Gaara got up and inspected. "No there isn't."
Temari was about to defend herself, but realized that maybe she was just seeing things. They started putting presents under the tree, when Kankuro looked up, and saw that the tree had eyes. Big, creepy fish eyes.
"Wah!"
"What now?" Gaara snarled.
"The tree had eyes!"
So Gaara viciously attacked the tree, taking out his rage on the poor thing. And it was so nicely decorated too.
"See? Nothing. Get back to work." Gaara demanded, flopping down on the couch.
"SANTA!" a voice cried, and Kankuro was tackled to the ground. There was brief chaos, but they eventually established that it was Lee who was hugging Kankuro.
"Oh my god, this is awesome! I'm meeting Santa!" Lee cheered. He then dropped Kankuro, and rushed the other two. "AND his happy band of elves!"
Temari and Gaara were caught in a vicious bear hug. Gaara looked absolutely confused.
"This is the greatest Christmas of my youthful life!" Lee wept, dropping to his knees. "I will never forget this magical night!"
The sand sibling slowly backed up, and dashed up the chimney.
"But wait Santa! YOU FORGOT YOUR SPANDEX!" Lee shouted, running outside and waving the suit like a flag.
The three flew about for a minute, quite silent.
"Let's forget that ever happened. In fact, when we're done, let's forget this whole night ever happened."
"All right."
"I was hugged. Why was he hugging me? I'm confused."
And they kept on flying.

Chapter four is done! But we still don't know who has it in for Mr. Claus! Who could this person be? Find out soon!
P.S. Kankuro's line of "suck brick freak" is borrowed from that holiday classic, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.
P.P.S. In all of my fanfics, this is the 2nd time Neji has been hit with some kind of construction equipment. I see me a running joke... and Neji isn't dead, just very, very cold. And he was sleep walking during that bit, if you couldn't tell.
