WinxStarDracoFire asked about this song from Aikatsu, so enjoy your Wassalia present! I thought it would be nice if, as they light the Wassalia candle, James sings a new song he learned in his Music Appreciation class. This is a special treat for the family, since it's the not just the first time he's going to be singing outside his door for them, but it's also the first Wassalia that the castle Scout Sprite is back with them. James even tells them about some of the songs he sang to her before they were reunited with her. For information on the Scout Sprites, see my story What Ever Happened to Jazzy Gingerberg. Aikatsu is not mine.
"By the light of this candle, we wish good tidings upon all Enchancia," Roland said as he lit the Wassalia candle. "Those we've just met, and those we love dearly."
As she was going to the tree to give Amber her first gift, Sofia saw James going to the piano. "James, what are you doing?" she asked as she saw him sit down.
"This is a song we did in my Music Appreciation class," James explained. "We had a holiday karaoke party, and this was one of the songs we did."
"And knowing you, you'll be able to play it for us on the piano after hearing it once," Amber smirked.
"Thank you, Mom's ear for music!" James grinned. "But I've got the tape of it here too. I may be good at playing music, but I can't play two instruments at once."
He got the music out, and stole a glance at some figures on the piano. One was Queen Melinda's favorite angel statue, a green angel holding a harp, which the family always kept out. But the second one was a red cloth doll known as a Scout Sprite. There were two Scout Sprites in the castle now: Sparks Billingham, the sprite that had lived with Sofia and Miranda in the village, and now he was living in the castle and currently on a shelf in the next room, and the one on the piano, Jazzy Gingerberg, who had up until the previous Wassalia, had lived in James' closet. James had kept Jazzy as a last memento of Queen Melinda, but now, thanks to Roland, she and Sparks could visit them whenever they wanted.
James grinned at his audience on the piano and started singing as he accompanied himself.
It's snowing, the door is open, soon it'll finally be here
Your heart when waiting for Santa is a color of excitement
Oh... Oh... Hello! Winter Love
Oh... Oh... Hello! Winter Love
"I know that song," Amber smiled, "Hildy played it at one of her parties."
"Like Mom used to say, Amber, if you know the song, just jump right in and join me," James invited.
"All right, I will!" Amber smiled.
She smiled at the angel on the piano and blew Jazzy a kiss as she joined in, I happened to see you today when I peeked into the mirror
How many times has that ribbon been adjusted?
Even though I've told you that it won't change a thing
It seems like an important matter to girls
James smiled as he sang back, What kind of wonderful present are you carrying?
And I wonder if it will be given to me
It's snowing, the door is open, one day I will be picking you up
Your heart when waiting for Santa is a color of excitement
Amber sang with him, Oh...Hello! Oh... Hello! Winter Love
Oh...Hello! Oh... Hello! Winter Love
"And Amber, we might have to go back to that shop in the village and get you your own Scout Sprite," James added.
"I'd like that," Amber smiled.
"Me too," Sofia agreed. "That way, Sparks and Jazzy can have a new friend to play with."
"One can never have too many Scout Sprites," Roland smiled.
"That's a cute idea, having a Scout Sprite for each of the children," Miranda smiled as she listened to the song.
Sofia smiled as Amber spun her and sang, Looking up to the clock going tick-tock as time flies hurriedly
I worry about how I wrapped my muffler around myself
James joined in again, When I get to see you, for some reason I become uneasy
These white colored expectations are piling up
"Come on over, Sof; I've got the lyrics in front of me if you want to join in too," he continued.
"Thanks, James!" Sofia smiled. "But for our next song, could you do one we all know?"
"No problem," James smiled as he continued the verse.
What kind of sparkling surprise are you hugging onto?
And I wonder if it will be given to me
Amber sang with him, It's snowing, and beyond the door, someday I will escort you
Your heart when waiting for Santa is a color of excitement
"When James and Amber were learning new songs, Melinda always played the chorus of the song until they learned the words," Roland remembered. "When James was little, he sang his 'la-la-la' song along with anything she sang."
"You're welcome to use the 'la-la-la' song for this too, Sof," James offered.
"I think Sofia would sing that with me whenever I sang around the house or the shop when she was little too," Miranda smiled.
"I remember that, Mom, and that's an interesting offer, James, but I think I'll just follow along with the words in front of me," Sofia smiled. "But the chorus looks easy enough."
"That's right, Sof; Mom always said start with what you know when you're learning something new," James smiled as he sang, What kind of wonderful present are you carrying?
And I wonder if it will be carried to me
It's snowing as we open the door, soon it'll finally be here
Your heart when waiting for Santa is a color of excitement
Sofia joined them on the chorus, Oh...Hello! Oh... Hello! Winter Love
Oh...Hello! Oh... Hello! Winter Love
"You did a really good job, Sofia," Amber smiled.
"And I promise, I'll play a song we can all sing after we open a few gifts," James agreed as he led them over to the tree.
