Roman's:	Christmas party is still happening.  John is talking to Shawn and
	Caroline about how lucky he feels to be considered a part of their family.
	As he is telling them this, Roman and Marlena are watching him.  Caroline
	leaves John to go talk to SD who tells her that he wishes that Bo were
	there and Caroline tells him that Bo loves him very much and who knows,
	he may still show up.

Alamain's:	Bo has just dropped Nikki off and he tells Carly "Merry Christmas."
	Carly tells Nikki that they waited until he could be home with them to
	open Christmas presents.  Nikki and Lawrence go upstairs to get Nikki
	changed.  Carly goes to Bo and tells him thank-you for bringing Nikki
	home to her.  Vivian (the new temporary actress) comes in the door and
	Carly glares at her.

-----

Roman's:	Marlena is bringing out refreshments as Roman is taking family
	pictures.  John is on the sidelines watching all of this and quietly
	slips outside.  Marlena watches him leave and follows him outside.  John
	tells her that he was going to run out to the car to get another blanket
	for Brady.  They talk about how it is Brady's first Christmas and Marlena
	tells John that she wishes that there was something magical that she could	
	say to make it all better, and John tells her that just knowing that she
	cares helps a great deal.  John goes to the car to get the blanket and
	Roman walks outside.  Roman asks Marlena what she was doing out there and
	she lies to him and tells him that she was waiting for snow and they
	go inside.

	Inside, everyone is gathered around Billie and Austin who and singing
	carols.  Carrie walks away from the group and Caroline follows her and
	asks her what is wrong.  She asks Caroline what a person does when they
	feel they are doing something that is best for someone else even though
	the person involved may not agree.  Caroline tells her that you have to
	follow your heart and do what you think is best for the person.  Carrie
	says that she thinks so to, she just hopes that Austin will understand.

Alamain's:	In Nikki's room, Nikki is changing clothes and telling Lawrence
	that Vivian had told him that they were going to send her (Vivian) away
	and the Carly is the cause of it all.  Nikki tells Lawrence that Vivian
	says that Carly is a bad person and is trying to destroy their family.
	Lawrence tells Nikki that Vivian is wrong, that her medication is making
	her say things that aren't true.  He tells Nikki that he would never
	send Viv away and that Carly is not an evil person.  He tells Nikki
	that there is a lot going on, but it can wait until after Christmas is
	over since Christmas is only 1 day.  

	Meanwhile:  Vivian calls upstairs for Nikki and Carly starts to yell
	at her for what she has done and how she will never get away with all
	of it.  Vivian tells Carly that Nikki doesn't belong with her and that
	she is his mother and the she is the only one he loves.  Carly tells
	her that it was not her job in the first place to become Nikki's mother.
	Vivian says that she thought that it was because she was able to give
	him more that Lawrence and Carly ever could because at the time, neither
	of them were ready to be parents.  Carly tells Vivian that she will 
	suffer for what she has done.  Carly calls to Bo to get rid of Vivian
	but he has slipped out the door.

[We now interrupt this program to inform the viewing public that the owner
of the Denver Broncos, Pat Bowlen, has fired head coach, Dan Reeves....
blah, blah, blah]

	We jump back in where Carly is getting ready to leave the Alamain's
	to go after Bo.  Lawrence is trying to convince her to stay, but
	Carly claims that there is still a chance for her and Bo because
	he still loves her, otherwise he would have never gone out searching
	for her son.  Lawrence watches her go, looking sad.

----

Carrie's:	The 90210 gang has just arrived at the apartment.  Carrie goes
	to her room to change and Billie immediately starts bitchin about all
	the carols they had to sing.  Austin tells her that he thought that
	Christmas at the Brady's was wonderful, and that it wasn't the gifts
	and carols, it was the fact that he could tell that everyone there
	really cared about each other, which was very different from their
	previous holidays.  Billie says that when they leave Salem, they will
	have a Christmas like the Brady's every year.  Austin half-heartedly
	agrees, and Billie pressures him about the fact that they are still
	going to leave Salem after the fight and Austin says yes, they are
	still going to leave.

Alamain's:	Nikki is opening all of his presents.  He gets a fish tank
	from Lawrence, and Lawrence hands him a package from Carly saying
	that it goes inside the tank.  Nikki says he doesn't want anything
	from Carly because she is mean to Aunt Viv.  Vivian is standing on 
	the landing to the stairs listening to this conversation.  Lawrence
	tells Nikki that it isn't true, that Vivian is just ill.  Nikki says
	she isn't ill, she just wants to stay here.  Lawrence tells Nikki
	that Vivian is welcome to stay here.

Roman's:	SD brings Bo [I guess Bo appeared at Romans while I was
	hearing about the Donkey's] a present for him and Carly that was
	pushed to the back side of the tree...it is from Roman and Marlena.
	Bo opens it and it is a set of lead crystal wine glasses for him
	and Carly to toast their first Christmas together with.  Marlena
	apologizes for the gift.  [A little inconsistency here,  Marlena
	had just been saved by John and Roman and wasn't even able to attend
	the wedding so why would she have bought them a Christmas gift
	when she knew they had broken up.  I guess you could say that Roman
	had boughten it for them before the wedding but since he himself has just
	been shot in the head and was completely worried about Marlena, why
	would he be out Christmas shopping???]  Bo says that it is ok and that
	the glasses are very pretty, thank-you.  Bo leaves saying that he needs
	to be alone for a little while.  As Bo is standing on the porch, Carly
	drives up.

----

Carrie's:	Austin has gone to his own apartment.  Billie is looking
	at the box of groceries that Carrie has packed for the trip to the
	cabin.  Carrie starts to light candles and looking for Christmas
	music to put on the CD player.  Billie becomes a real bitch and
	says that she can take a hint, obviously her and Austin are planning
	a little party and threes a crowd.  Carrie tells Billie thank-you.
	Billie says that she will be next door and to keep it down because
	she needs to get her beauty sleep.  As she is leaving she mentions
	the groceries for the cabin and asks Carrie if she is still planning
	to go through with it.  Billie tells her to let Austin fight, and
	Carrie basically says no way, and that she will do everything she
	can to keep him from fighting.  Billie says that they will get into
	it then and Carrie agrees, but not tonight, since it is Christmas.

Alamain's:	Vivian comes downstairs and Nikki shows her his presents.
	Nikki heads up to bed and Lawrence and Vivian talk about her failed
	plans.  Vivian tells him that she will no longer be trying to run away,
	as she is now certain that her and Nikki belong in Salem.  Lawrence
	tells her that only Nikki belongs here.  Vivian says that her and Nikki
	are a package deal, and that he can't have one without the other.

Roman's:	Carly asks Bo why he left.  He said that he needed to be with
	his family and she needed to be with hers.  Carly tells him that he
	is her family.  She thanks him for finding Nikki and bringing him
	home.  He says it was no big deal, that he was just in the right 
	place and the right time, and he wasn't out looking for Nikki.  He
	tells Carly that he is happy for her.  She tells him that things
	aren't that great, that Vivian has turned Nikki against her.  Bo tells
	her that she will win Nikki back just to give it time, and that the
	important thing is that you have your son back and that is what you 
	wanted.  Carly says that she wants something else.  Bo tells her
	good luck and Merry Christmas and goes inside.

----

Carrie's:	Austin and Carrie and talking about the trip and Austin
	comments on the large amount of food she has packed.  Carrie covers
	by saying that she read that people in training eat a lot.  Austin
	tells her that he loves her and needs her in his life.  They hug
	and kiss.

Boat:	Bo and SD arrive at the boat.  SD is talking about his donation to
	the kids at the homeless shelter, and Bo tells SD that he is very
	proud of him for helping the kids.  SD brings out the wine glasses
	and tells Bo that he almost forgot them.  Bo looks a little flustered...
	SD tells Bo that he misses Carly and that he thought that him and
	Carly would make up once Nikki was home.  Bo tells him that things
	aren't that simple because Carly kept Nikki a secret from him.  Bo
	tells SD not to say anything to Nikki about Carly being his Mom because
	Carly wants to tell him herself.

Roman's:	Everyone left is standing around talking about Bo.  The phone
	rings and it is the station for Roman, who takes the call upstairs.
	Shawn and Caroline leave, leaving John and Marlena alone together.
	John is trying to get Brady's snow suit on, and is having some trouble
	because Brady is squirming [I didn't see no baby squirming :)], so
	Marlena offers to help.  She sits down on the couch and gets Brady
	ready.  They talk about the twins and how John still loves him like
	they were his own, since he was the one who raised them.  Marlena leaves
	forward and puts her hand over John's just as Roman comes downstairs.

----

Roman's:	John sees Roman and quickly stands up and goes home.  Roman 
	apologizes to Marlena for interrupting and says that he is that
	Roman must be feeling down right now about Isabella.  Marlena lies and
	tells him that they were talking about Isabella.  She gets up and
	hugs Roman and tells him how much she loves him.  They talk about how
	nice it is to be alone together.  They go upstairs.

Hotel:	Carly gets into her room just as the phone is ringing, and of course
	it is Lawrence.  He asks her how things went with Bo.  Carly avoids
	the question and asks about Nikki.  They talk about Nikki and then
	Lawrence asks Carly if she told Bo about Lisanne's death, and Carly
	says no.

Boat:	Bo is looking at a small photo of Carly.  He picks up one of the wine
	glasses and looks at it and then sets it down again.  [I thought for 
	sure he was going to smash it against the wall.]  He goes into the
	bedroom and looks around and sees the file on Lisanne's death.  He
	picks it up, and lays down on the bed and begins to read it.
