"Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas"
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Name: As the first snow of winter falls ♫
Rank: B
Plot:
It’s winter in Konohagakure once more, a time celebrated among the elders of the village and the youngest. Although the spirit of Christmas has somewhat faded in the eyes of older inhabitants for the village, it is still a special time for everyone no matter if it’s celebrated with a family or not. Knowing the closeness that people are at Christmas time the Juunidaime has brought upon the village a festival celebrating the season.
Around Konohagakure there are beautiful paper lights strung from each tree and post, lighting the way for villagers as they walk about, the warm glow illuminating the night sky along with the lights from stands which offer various things on sale, for instance clothing, exotic and festive food, games for both families and some gambling-orientated games for the older people. Across the area there also lie various drinking sands with a large range of alchohol on offer.
To show that it’s Christmas also, the Hokage has brought in one of the finest trees of a prosperous Forest within Hi no Kuni which protects the very Village of Konohagakure as it stands in the centre of the village, children and young people having decorated it with lights, small messages of hope for the future and ornaments, while on the top rests a small angel bearing the sign of Konohagakure on it’s back as snow slowly falls upon the village, so does it with the tree, gently covering it’s branches with white, adding an elegant touch to it.
A pretty tree it is, around it lies the various stalls and cuisine or drink establishments of which the Juunidaime especially ordered, serving the finest alchohol among the lands, foreign drinks and home brewed sake made within Konohagakure. And in one corner, which is usually flooded with children, lies a snow-covered grotto of sorts made out of wood, inside there lying the very man who the children have been looking forwards to seeing- Santa Claus, bearing his red suit trimmed with white fur and a black belt, his characteristic white beard, and red hat. Being the jolly person he is, he sits in his grotto, and gives out gifts to the Citizens of Konohagakure, children usually although adults may too partake in this, people from youth to elder wearing patterned traditional Kimonos as they walk about the place, a few ladies choosing to carry parasols in order to shield their faces from the snow that falls down softly on the Leaf village.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Participants of the event as a whole are simply asked to have a nice time, a time to put the struggles and stresses of being a shinobi behind one's back and enjoy the night, may it be soaked in alchohol or not. One might decide to pay Father Christmas a visit, browse the stalls, or perhaps even simply watch as the snow falls down on Konohagakure, reminiscing old memories of Snowfalls long past. Along with the stalls and festivities, the Juunidaime Hokage will be there, taking part in a speech to introduce herself as the new Leader of the Leaf village and to give thanks to a few people within the village whom she believes deserves the congratulations. In brief, her speech will speak of;
• Relations with villages
• Congratulating people
• Introducing herself in general
• ANBU
• MERRY CHRISTMAS
