      _______________________________________________________

Scene 1
New roomies, Sonny and Mike discover their respective morning faces.
Scene 2
The Q's admire their Christmas tree and head for the GH party.
Scene 3
At GH, Kevin and Lucy smooch up a storm until Bobbie interrupts, and she and
Lucy exchange a few unseasonable greetings. After Bobbie leaves, Kevin
surprises Lucy with a present of a trip to "Duckling Island."
Scene 4
Monica tells Alan she wants them back together, but it won't come soon or
easily. Alan agrees to be patient [like he hasn't been already].
Scene 5
Sonny questions Mike's eclectic decor choices, especially that of a clothes
tree made from the felled limb of a real tree.  When Mike tries to explain his
theory of clothes, Sonny comments that he can call it what he will, but Mike is
just a slob.
Scene 6
Back at GH, Alan and Tom argue over who will sit in for the ailing Steve Hardy
who can't be there [Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus] and tell the
Christmas story. Eventually, Tom pleads that he needs to do it, so Alan
relents. Robin and Mac reminisce about Stone.  Everyone carols and gathers
around for Tom's version of the Christmas Story [which mercifully I'll omit].
After Tom's story, Damian steps up and makes a public self-serving speech while
presenting his annual contribution to GH. When Lucy buttonholes him to
criticize his self-aggrandizing, Damian takes the opportunity to taunt Kevin
who makes a move to mix it up with him [ooh, brainy and macho]; however, Alan
intervenes and asks Damian to leave.
Scene 7
Sonny comes to see Rivera and tells him he made a decision. He says he will
accept the deal and marry LeeLee.
Scene 8
Brenda visits Mike to talk about Sonny. [In the Brenda/Lily battle, I'm firmly
on Lily's side]
Scene 9
Emily, and the Q-men argue about the electric train. Alan is a holdout for the
traditional circle around the tree, but Emily demonstrating her developing
talent for male manipulation begs Alan for a larger run.  Eventually, he agrees
to everyone's delight (even his own).
Scene 10
A pathetic Brenda [am I being redundant?] questions Mike about where Sonny got
the bail money. She insists he loves her [so what, her love won't keep the jail
door open], but something is wrong.
Scene 11
Sonny goes to see LeeLee. He tells her they will be good together, and she
replies that she will see to it.  He suggests they take a low profile until the
grand jury meets, and she agrees.
Scene 12
Mac, having found Kevin's travel brochure accidentally [not knowing whose it
was], suggests to Katherine to go there to be safe, and he would visit her. He
says it's only two hours from PC [by what the Space Shuttle?]
Scene 13
A forlorn Lois talks to Ned by phone. She says the airport is closed so she
can't make it back, and he can't fly in. She asks for him to talk dirty to her,
no just joking, she asks for him to sing her a song, so to pictures of the
various PC denizens enjoying Christmas, Ned warbles "Have Yourself A Merry
Little Christmas."
