It's literally just struck midnight in the UK, so I can officially say Merry Christmas! I hope you all have a wonderful day no matter what you spend it doing!

The entire town of Storybrooke were crowded into the church for the Enchanted Forest's alternate of a Christingle service, it was a nice time to catch up with their friends the day before the busiest day of the year, and to get into the festive mood. David sat with his arm around Snow as he watched Henry pull faces at Neal on Snow's other side. For the past about ten minutes there had been one man speaking at the front however he had the most mundane voice and topic imaginable. He felt Emma turn around yet again on his other side and turned to see what was going on. He watched as Emma poured something from a hip flask he didn't even know she owned into her complimentary hot chocolate.

"Emma." David hissed. "You can't put alcohol in the hot chocolate!"

"I'm not." Emma immediately put an innocent look on her face but David clearly wasn't buying it. "Okay I am but it's only Baileys it barely even counts."

"Emma," David repeated in disbelief, "did Hook give that to you? This is a church you shouldn't be drinking in here."

"Why do you assume it's Hook who gave it to me? And if you weren't meant to drink in church then how come some people drink wine in it like every Sunday?"

"I'm not getting into a theological debate with you, Em. And who else would have given you a hip flask full of alcohol?" he raised his eyebrow at her.

Emma's eyes slowly slid from David to the row behind them.

"Granny?" David gasped. "You're the one who gave her it?"

"Sorry David but the last time we had to sit through one of these it we all decided that this would be the only way we'd be able to sit through John's speech is with spiked hot chocolate." She apologised but she looked largely unashamed.

David looked at the rest of the of Granny's row who were trying not to laugh while sipping their drinks. He felt a hand on his arm and he turned to face his wife.

"Leave them."

"But Snow-" David was shocked that his wife wasn't reacting more to this as she normally would do.

"Yeah, Dad, she's on our side – she was part of our agreement last time we sat through this."

"Snow!" David said surprised but with more glee than he had reacted to Emma doing so.

"Shush." Someone hissed at David causing Emma to smother a laugh.

Ten minutes later and John was still talking. David was beginning to see why Snow, Emma, and their friends had all smuggled in drinks. David slithered down in his seat slightly and leant closer to Emma so that he could speak to her without being shushed again. "Can I have some of your drink for my hot chocolate?"
