"Boruto! Look, it's snowing!"
Himawari stood by the window, jumping up and down excitedly. She pressed her nose against it again and again
the cold pane and left small, round dots on the steamed-up surface. She threw her brother
a few expectant looks over his shoulder.
"Look, everything is already completely white!"
But the only reaction that followed was a muffled groan on the part of her brother. Annoyed he rolled his eyes
turned back on the couch and pulled a pillow over both ears.
"We could build a snowman! Or a castle!"
Still full of anticipation, Himawari ran to her brother and shook his back.
"I don't want to. - Leave me alone," he grumbled.
"Don't be so grumpy! It's Christmas soon!"
"Your sister is right", Hinata intervened, the one with a couple of hats and scarves
Entered living room. "You should go out and enjoy the snow. I want you to get dressed
and do something with Himawari! "
"But Ma-"
"No buts! Get on and out with you!"
"Juheee!", Himawari shouted and almost tripped over her shoes.
Boruto sat up disgruntled and gritted his teeth, looking to the side, hugging the pillow tightly.
"Look, I know you're sulking because your father isn't around. I also think it's stupid that he's always like that
works a lot. "Smiling, Hinata crouched in front of her son and lovingly brushed a blonde strand behind her

She tapped her chin thoughtfully. "But when I really think about it .. Maybe I do today
blue and let the baking be. Who should blame me for that ... "With a mischievous smile she looked
to her son.
Boruto's eyes widened. With one jump he was on his feet.
"Me! I'll do it! Baking cookies is part of the Christmas tradition!"
"Just like building a snowman. So go ahead!"

The snowman was built quickly, but lacked details. Arms, eyes, nose and mouth had to be
yet to be added. So the two Uzumaki siblings decided to live in the nearby forest
Go looking for matching accessories. Himawari found a couple of pine cones, which she eyed critically
and weighed against each other until she held the perfectly shaped cone in her hand. Even with the
Branches, she presented as extremely critical. Her brother, anything but patient and far less on

demanding in the sorting out, meanwhile start holes in the area and cross them sourly
Arms behind his head.
"Hurry up Himawari, otherwise the snowman will melt because spring has come again and you always will
are still looking. "
His little sister stuck her tongue out in response.
"Dumbass!"
Just as he was about to reply, he heard a rustle behind him. He posed protectively
stood in front of his younger sister and pulled out a kunai. "Watch out! There is something in the bushes!" Immediately stopped
Himawari grabbed her brother's jacket and peeked around his side. "What is there?" She asked in awe.
The two waited anxiously to see what would come out of the bushes, as a dull roar
rang out. Immediately afterwards a young reindeer stumbled out of the undergrowth. When the two children are in front of you
saw it stopped and stared at the Uzumaki children.
"Oh. That's just a"
"A REINDEER !!!", Himawari screeched and ran to the little animal to hug it.Boruto dropped his arm in resignation. "Yes, a reindeer .."
“Look, it's very tame!” Beaming with joy, Himawari scratched the reindeer behind the ears and let himself into it
In return, lick it off. Laughing loudly, she was almost under the hoofed animal, lost her cap and thereby had
the hair full of snow.
"It has to belong to someone, if it's so trusting.", Stated her brother, who now stepped beside her and
looked at the spectacle from the side.
"Or is it just alone and looking for a few playmates !?"
"I think more likely that it wants to eat you."
“Hihi .. Look, it has a collar!” A narrow, red band peeked out from under the thick, brown fur on the neck
with a golden mark. The name Rudolphus and the name of the owner were engraved on it
"Santa Claus".
"It belongs to Santa Claus!" Remarked Himawari excitedly. "No wonder he's here alone
roaming around. His father is sure to be busy pulling sleds around the clock. "
"He's not the only one who never sees his father.", Boruto complained and crossed his arms
in front of his chest. "Papa never has time for us either."
"Mom says that dad has a very responsible job. We can be proud of that.
He helps others and is respected. "She looked at her brother for a while, then Himawari squirmed at that
Reindeer in front of you. "And you can be proud of your father too. He takes care of all the children
in the world! He's flying Santa Claus everywhere. You have a really cool father! "
As if Rudolphus wanted to answer, he bellowed briefly at her.
Himawari grabbed her cap, got up and shook the snow out of her hair before she got up
put on her woolen hat again.
"I think it's great what our fathers do. Even if we miss them because we don't see them much
I am convinced that they always think of us. "
She took turns looking at her brother and the reindeer, who both listened to her in silence. While she
continued speaking, she crouched down and brushed some snow into her hands.
"The three of us are just going to have so much fun together that we don't have to think about them that much.
And then they'll be really jealous because we had such a great day. "
Boruto was surprised at how confidently his sister saw things. He was just about to say something
when a snowball hit him in the face and he heard his little sister and the reindeer snort.
"Well wait!" He shouted and swore revenge. A wild snowball fight full of ambition and joy
aflame that dragged on until dark. The 3
finally with fresh Christmas cookies and warm tea on the veranda of your house.
"So," thought Boruto, "it could go any day."
