Jaycee is laying in her bed in her orange pumpkin pajamas studying Christmas. She read all the Christmas books, but... Nothing! She looks at the window to see Finkelstein's house. "There's got to be a logical way to explain this Christmas thing."

The next day...


Judy is sitting on her bed writing in her journal. A knock on the door is heard. "Come in!" she called. The door opened revealing Jaycee. "Jaycee!"

"Judy! BFF shake!" Jaycee said as she and Judy did her handshake.

"So, what brings you here?" Judy asked her.

"Well, since we are BFFs, can you do me a favor?" Jaycee asked her back.

"Sure, anything!" Judy said.

"I need to borrow some equipment from your dad." Jaycee said

"Is that so? What for?" Judy asked.

"I'm conducting a series of experiments." Jaycee said.

"Cool! Curiosity killed the cat, ya know."

"I know!"

"Come on into the lab and I'll get ya ready!" Judy said as goes into her father's lab.

Later...


"Mom! Dad! I'm home!" Jaycee called as she got home. She went to her bedroom. "Hi, Zero." She said as she pat Zero on the head. She got out her chemistry set. She grabbed a Christmas cherry and placed it on the microscope. But it spattered because the microscope was too close.

Jaycee takes a candy cane and places in boiling water. But when she takes it out, it becomes some sting thingy.

Jaycee folds up a piece of paper to create a paper snowflake. But she actually creates a paper spider on a web!

Jaycee cut a teddy bear's belly and takes stuffing out. She examines the stuffing and put her magnifying glass up close to her eye.

Jaycee draws a picture of Stanta then spins revealing a picture of a lobster-like version of him.

Jaycee crushes a ornament into a pot of boiling water. "Interesting reaction...But what does it mean?!" She asked, frustrated.

The next morning


Morning arrives as everyone began to sing...


JAYCEE'S OBSESSION

CITIZENS OF HALLOWEEN
Something's up with Jaycee
Something's up with Jaycee
Don't know if we're ever going to see

He's all alone up there
Locked away inside
Never says a word
Hope he hasn't died

Something's up with Jaycee
Something's up with Jaycee

JAYCEE
Christmas time is buzzing in my skull
Will it let me be? I cannot tell
There are so many things I cannot grasp
When I think I've got it, and then at last
Through my bony fingers it does slip
Like a snowflake in a fiery grip

Something's here I'm not quite getting
Though I try, I keep forgetting
Like a memory long since past
Here in an instant, gone in a flash
What does it mean?
What does it mean?

In these little bric-a-brac
A secret's waiting to be cracked
These dolls and toys confuse me so
Confound it all, I love it though

Simple objects, nothing more
But something's hidden through a door
Though I do not have the key
Something's there I cannot see
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
Hmm...

I've read these Christmas books so many times
I know the stories and I know the rhymes
I know the Christmas carols all by heart
My skull's so full, it's tearing me apart
As often as I've read them, something's wrong
So hard to put my bony finger on

Or perhaps it's really not as deep
As I've been led to think
Am I trying much too hard?
Of course! I've been too close to see
The answer's right in front of me
Right in front of me

It's simple really, very clear
Like music drifting in the air
Invisible, but everywhere
Just because I cannot see it
Doesn't mean I can't believe it

You know, I think this Christmas thing
It's not as tricky as it seems
And why should they have all the fun?
It should belong to anyone

Not anyone, in fact, but me
Why, I could make a Christmas tree
And there's no reason I can find
I couldn't handle Christmas time

I bet I could improve it too
And that's exactly what I'll do


Jayce laughs evilly after she finds out what she should do. "EURKUA! This year Christmas will be OURS!" She announced to the whole town. Jack and Sally were really worried now.
