Konoha is covered in a soft, white blanket of snow that covers the streets and roofs of houses. Fairy lights and paper lanterns hang from the trees, and candles and colorful ornaments flicker in the windows of the shops. The usual hustle and bustle of the village has given way to a calm, peaceful mood. From one corner of the market square, the soft laughter of children building a snowman can be heard. The cold is pleasantly fresh, and the air smells of wood fires and fresh baked goods.
