Sakura dropped her shopping bags onto the floor and fell onto her bed, tired from shopping all day.

"Well, now that I'm finished shopping for everyone I know, now I can just relax until Christmas Eve, which is in.." She looked at her calender. "Four more days?"

She sat up.

"Wow time flies by fast when you're getting gifts for everyone, right Dad?" She looked at a picture on her desk.

"Yea I guess it does but it depends on what you're getting and for who."

"Ehh?! Who said that?" Sakura looked around.

"Up here!"

Sakura looked up to see her...

"Dad?"

"Yup," he grinned and floated around a bit in her room.

"But, you're a..."

"A ghost?"

Sakura stared.

"Er...not that I'm happy you're sorta here but...why are you here?"

"What I can't see how much my daughter has grown?"

"No, its just that, why now of all days?"

"It's almost Christmas so I thought I would give you a little early Christmas gift!"

Sakura smiled.

"Well then this must be the best Christmas present anyone could ever ask for!"

So then Sakura basicly told her dad her whole life story, or at least the part that he missed.

"My little Sakura, a hardcore ninja, I would've never guessed," her dad said with a smile.

"Of course, I thank the help of Tsunade-sama and my team for helping me get this far,"

"Yes Sakura, but it's time to wake up."

"Nani? Wake up?"

"Sakura..."

Her dad's voice was suddenly her mom's and she was looking up at the ceiling.

"Sakura, time for dinner!"

"Oh," Sakura said to herself. "It was just a dream."

She got out of bed and was about to go downstairs when something caught her eye. It was an envelope on her desk that she was sure wasn't there before. Sakura picked it up and opened it. She took out a piece of paper and read it. On the paper was the simple words,

Merry Christmas.

Sakura smiled before going downstairs for dinner, not knowing that her dad was watching her from her bedroom window with a smile on his face.

Pretty short...and it wasn't the way I wanted it to be..but just to make things clear:

In this, Sakura's dad is dead. I don't know if he really is or not, but he is here.

Also, I have nooo clue how old everyone will be in this story...

You decide :)

Review, it what makes the chapters come faster!

Update Schedule:
Each chapter in this story represents a day closer to Christmas...obviously. All the chapters will be updated on the day it should be, except for the last two chapters, which both will be posted on christmas eve, unless my family decides to have a change in plans and we don't go anywhere.

Next chapter: Sasuke? or Naruto? you pick please :)
