Outside the Kazekage tower Sousuke and his father Judori prepared for the holiday season. The garden was changed from roses to Christmas cacti and Poinsettia of various shapes and sizes. Red and green were the predominant colours to be seen. "Father, I think this is too much green and red."<i></i> Sousuke spoke as he rubbed his eyes. He was of the mind that they should have gotten some blue flowers to represent the mythical force called snow. "The lights don't have to be the same colour do they? People like repetition but I think this might be too much."<i></i> The Steward scratched the back of his head. Why was it that green and red represented the holidays? The Steward understood very little about the holidays, but he had only been doing celebrating them since he was a child. Apparently some people took trees and decorated them with spheres, and stars, and winged people. It was a foreign concept, but then again it must have been a foreign event.
The former Steward looked at his son with an a focused gaze. His son was taller than him so he had to look up. "Yes Sousuke. We can use different lights to decorate the gates and the Kazekage tower. I suppose you can use the white lights... oh fine use the blue ones." The veteran puppeteer watched as Sousuke disappeared to retrieve a box of lights. The Steward seemed content with himself and began to scale the Tower. He created designs of many kinds. Stars of various shapes, falling, standard, four pointed. Then the Steward had a thought. He fashioned the lights in the form of a circle. Then he fashioned another circle on top of that circle. He finally put one more circle on top. He then formed a face on this final circle. A smiling face. It resembled a man of sorts. The Steward was pleased with his lights display as he attempted to form a fictional creature. Supposedly this was a great ice elemental ancient from the past named Frosty. Apparently this frost would sing and dance. He resided in cold places usually but would come to the desert to bring this thing called holiday cheer. How he survived was a mystery.
Having finished decorating the tower with stars, and frosty the Steward next attended to the gates. He ran across the gates assigning lights in a twirling motion of sorts. Once he was done decorating the gates with cane designs he returned to his father. The former Steward nodded his head. His son had style, just like he did in his youth. He flipped the switch and ... well ...
"Too bright. Too bright."<i></i> Sousuke called as he shielded his eyes. Judori did the same. The Kazekage Tower and its surrounding territory was a blinding source of fourteen billion gigawatts of power. A great chorus of laugher rose and Judori then turned the switch again this time toning down the brightness to something more bearable. The Steward and the former Steward looked about. Strangely enough the grounds now had more decorations had appeared. Various gift boxes of sizes and various treats too. Desert tables were equally placed around the tower grounds. Sousuke pointed to his father. "Did you...?"<i></i>
"No. I did not spontaneously summon treats. The former Steward approached one of the tables. He found a bowl of his favourite holiday drink - eggnog. Judori took a mug and got himself a mug full. "Sousuke try this. This is called eggnog. It's excellent in many forms." The shorter puppeteer proceeded to drain his mug. "Hurm. Excellent."
The Steward did as his father bid and got himself a mug of the delicious holiday drink. "Does this not disturb you? The treats and drinks randomly appearing?"<i></i> He asked. The Steward was trying not to ruin the situation, but it didn't logically make sense.
"No. It surprises me, but it doesn't disturb me." Judori looked about. "I say. Job well done son. Happy holidays."
"Same to you Dad."<i></i>
