Jay's POV

It was July 2018, we were tasked to write a Christmas song for the children.

At the only music shop in Storybrooke, Maine, Zelena had dropped us off

"I can't believe your mom's making us do this!" Mal complained.

"Me neither." Evie walked towards the grand piano as she sweeps her fingers over the edge of the piano, "But mostly, I can't believe you actually agreed to this."

Zelena scoffed, "You think I had a choice?"

"Well, that doesn't matter now." Carlos states.

"Yeah," I agreed "what matters is for us to come up with a Christmas song."

"Fine." Evie huffed as she rubbed her finger with her thumb to get rid of the dust. "But I won't promise no bashing."

Zelena places her daughter in the bassinet, "Thank you, I'll be back by noon." Zelena left.

Mal looked at Robyn, "Hello cutie."

Evie grabs her dark blue notebook from her purse and opened it, "While we were in the castle I wrote a Christmas song."

"You did?" I asked.

"Yes." Evie nods sits on the piano bench and starts playing, "We could revise it to make it into a group song. I mean I wrote it for a solo."

"I'll work on the choreography." Carlos states.

Evie smiles in appreciation.

"And I'll work with Mal with the set design." I shook my head.

"Thank you. I'll work on the costumes." Evie gets up.

"Course." Mal nods, "So the song?"

"Oh yes." Evie sat back down, "It's called 'Jolly to the Core'."

"Interesting title," Ben says, "let's hear it."

"Fine," Evie starts playing the piano"

I'm feeling giddy
So full of Cheer
This always happens
This magic time of year
We're lighting candles
We're trimming trees
We're spinning Dreidels
Spin one for me
I'm training Reindeer
I'm drinking Nog (Nog)
I'll make a snowman (Frosty)
In my backyard
I'm standing under the mistletoe
My lips are puckered
Hey... Where'd you go?

Santa Santa
We'll behave
Quit those silly evil ways
I can't wait to celebrate
Let's celebrate

We're jolly to the core
Jolly to the core
Sleigh bells in the sky
Carolers on my door
I'm feeling so much joy
It's time for love not war
I'm jolly to the
Too jolly to the... core

It's time for giving
So what you got (What you got)
Oh I'm just kidding
Or maybe not
I've got my eye on
That wicked dress
I've got a wishlist too
I must confess
Let's not forget
To tell the Elves
We think of others
Not just ourselves (Oh no)
And the greatest gift (What's that?)
To every boy and girl (Hey hey)
Peace on earth
Around the world!

Santa Santa
We'll behave
Quit those silly evil ways
I can't wait to celebrate
Let's celebrate

We're jolly to the core
Jolly to the core
Sleigh bells in the sky
Carolers on my door
I'm feeling so much joy
It's time for love not war
I'm jolly to the
Too jolly to the... core

Let's celebrate
We'll behave
Feeling so much joy
Cause we will always be
Jolly to the core
Jolly to the core
Sleigh bells in the sky
Carolers at my door
I'm feeling so much joy
It's time for love not war
I'm jolly to the
Too Jolly to the...

We're jolly to the core
Jolly to the core
Sleigh bells in the sky
Carolers on my door
I'm feeling so much joy
It's time for love not war
I'm jolly to the
Too Jolly to the...
To the core

Jolly to the core

"Its still has some kinks to work on..." Evie sighs.

"No, it's good." Ben smiles.

"Thanks." Evie sighs.

"Excellent, even." Doug pecked Evie's cheek.
