Also, how da fluck did Claire pull off being thrilled about it?  What human being, inching towards 30 wants a horsie for Christmas?  Talk about presumption. 

Oh @boes, you knows I loves ya, but you clearly do not know the magic of girls and horses! Tis a thing. I know, I'm one of them, and if anyone gifted me a horse - well, one where the gifter had a stable and stuff to house said horse - I'd piss myself with joy! Then I'd go sleep in the barn with my new horse.

*additions to Christmas Wish List:

• Bring Chancesome on preferably dressed in a Santa Speedo complete with jingle bells balls
• Let the New Old Raunch Christmas tree short out and burn the damn place down again
• Time reverses itself and the Newmans take the money they would have paid for all those many ornaments and put it to good use at a homeless shelter, food bank or soup kitchen Nice try but never gonna happen, even if it's George Costanza Backwards Day!
• Phyllus gets trapped in a very deep snowdrift and isn't found until the spring thaw thus coining a new phase of homo sapiens named The Big Red Flaporectus Era
• Boris and Natasha find they are truly in love and run off to Brazil, never to be seen again please baby J, please!

Oof. I’ll start with the kids:

• Yes, Auria (sp) should’ve been with her parents and upstairs sleeping on Christmas Eve. Let the babysitter go home!
• Katie and Johnny: I am not aware of any parents who throw teen/tween parties on Christmas Eve. Parties for entire families? Sure. The more sensible response was simply to say they were spending Christmas Eve with Billy.
• Christian: Are we sure that he really even exist anymore? I feel like we’re seen occasions over the last several months where Nick is somewhere where it would make sense for his child to be, and his name doesn’t come up once.

As for Phyllis. Yeah, she’s a complete nut, but she did hit on something today. Even if you believe Sharon’s story that she did not kill Heather, she still threw the body off a bridge and cleaned up a crime scene. And she stole Heather‘s phone and pinned the murder on Daniel. Those are all crimes. And maybe they’ll try to explain all of that away, but they didn’t do it today. So all the holiday cheer and celebrating seemed a little odd.

Right there with you! And if said horsie came with his own puppy? Double the pleasure, double the fun! 🐕🐎❤️

Sharon certainly hit the nail on the head - Phyllis is happiest making other people miserable, harassing her “enemies” and externalizing her self hatred. Remember how Daniel is the real victim? Phyllis doesn’t. She turned on him with a quickness when he suggested there must be more to the latest development in the case. And yes, Phyllis, mothers everywhere understand the instinct to ominously wish for unholy vengeance over the holidays. Crazy motherfuckers.

All the best to my fellow posters this holiday season. Your snark is glorious.

[ScoobieDoobs]

I’m puzzled why they let Phyllis rant & rant & rant, when she should’ve been told to get the eff outta there.  Sharon has every right to tell The Red Beast get outta her house.

Was this supposed to be for Emmy reel 2025?  I put it on mute.  She sounded like such a maniac, I expected Show to cue — They’re coming to take me away, hee, hee, ha, ha, ho, ho, to the funny farm . . .

Nick stood there frozen.  Dumb & useless as per usual.

Uh, Show, it’s winter in the Midwest & likely below 30 degrees & NOBODY is wearing short sleeves!  Only thing I noticed in the sappy Abbott scenes is Kyle’s short sleeve shirt.  

Well, they’re referring to Chance, but he is def been MIA, & Connor Floyd is not in the credits & hasn’t been for weeks.  What that means, who knows?
 

[ScoobieDoobs]

So no sappy Xmas scene with Boris & Natasha?  Aw, so disappointed, Show!

More sappy Abbott scenes?  Eh, who cares?  Good to see a snarky Ash & notice the shag is growing out.  But would’ve rather seen the elderly Bonnie & Clyde.

Meh. It’s probably very warm in the house and it’s not like anyone in that town walks anywhere. They go from the house to the car, car to the restaurant and back. I can buy him in short sleeves. Besides, he’ll wear a coat.

A day or two earlier the Abbott living room looked like Jack loaded up on PCP-laced vodka and then went berserk in there.  What ever happened to understated elegance???

Well...what had happened was

Holey moley, the Abbott manse looked like Santa's elves took some PCP and had an all-night rave in it.

The Abbotts drink brown liquor so no vodka was involved. 😉

Whee, the look on Ashley's face when Diane asked to sit down with her and Traci was textbook "bish please."

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Phyllis, you stay talking to yourself.

Can Kyle ever have a conversation without a glass of booze in his hand?

Ehh, I don't feel like Diane needs to be groveling for Traci and Ashley's approval anymore. They have never liked her and they probably never will.

Alan was out at Sharon's house earlier "today" to hypnotize her. How is he now snowed in in another city? Continuity error.

Dang, Sharon went awf. She read Phyllis like an EV oil change instruction manual written backwards in Dothraki. Hard.

Faith, sweetie, you shouldn't have told Phyllis Sharon just remembered someone else was in the room when Heather was murdered. You may have undermined Sharon's defense.

Oh look, Hurricane Phyllis is going to ruin Daniel's Christmas Eve too. She spreads her hatred of Sharon like a virus and unfortunately for everyone there's no vaccine.

Tessa did a good job singing Silent Night a cappella. Brava!

Wow, the original pages from her journal was quite a poignant Christmas gift  from Diane to Kyle. Hopefully Kyle won't be a jerk later and accuse Diane of writing them last week.

Jack gave Diane a pendant with some stones from Dina's hallowed necklace. Diane gave Jack another watch to add to his collection. Hmm. 😐

Daniel, have you met your mommy before? Phyllis is like a gangster: when you're in her crew, if you ain't with her you're against her. You better keep any new doubts about Sharon's guilt to yourself.

Mariah, Faith, and Tessa running outside and acting like they'd never seen snow before. I can't.

Huh, there was no Christmas Eve scene with the Winters family. Wonder why not?

You have a point, but to be fair, the girl was on PCP so, yanno, all bets are off because she was literally and legit out of her mind!

[Js Nana]

When was the last time Christian made an appearance on this show, because it seems like forever, I mean the kid didn't even show up for the Christmas festivities at Sharon's.

. . . and that makes me so mad, because she's got some nerve happily celebrating Christmas with her family like she doesn't have a care in the world.

Hey Manic Phyllis🕷️, those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.  Can someone please say restraining order.  I can’t tell if Manic Phyllis🕷️is talking about Sharon or herself.  Joy to the world except for Manic Phyllis🕷️ who makes the Grinch look like he’s pro Christmas. 

It would have been a much better episode if Manic Phyllis🕷️ was visited by the spirts of Christmas past, present, and future. Maybe Manic Phyllis🕷️ would become more self aware and self important 🤞. 
 

ETA:  the beautiful Appaloosa Victor bought for Claire/Eve is at least $125,000. It’s girl and their horses as much as it is men and their trucks. It’s being able to control a powerful animal and being able to control a powerful machine.

You're much kinder than I am, Waldo13.

I'd have been content if Phyllis was visited by a giant piano falling on her head like one of those old cartoons.

How big was that necklace supposed to be???  Jack, Traci, Ashley, Abby, Kyle, Theo all already have custom pieces made from it but there was still some left for Jack to make something for Diane?  Dina must have displayed in a wheelbarrow.

Don't get too mad.  Sharon and her gang are "celebrating" with Nick and any gathering with him is never fun for long.  Just wait till he starts arm-farting "The First Noel".

I was wondering the same thing. And who would ever schedule or show up for a Psychology talk on Christmas Eve?

I LOVED today’s show. 1985, when I first started watching in high school. The hair, the clothes, Danny’s rocker earring!!!

Merry holidays to you all. Your posts make me happy all year long! 

[ScoobieDoobs]

My niece just asked me if EVERYONE had hair like that back then.  Well, I never did, but everyone in Soapland sure did, especially Danny!  He just said in a recent interview that Jeanne Cooper looked to him for “hair tips”.  Uh, no words to that.

Ash’s muddy poodle hair gave me a giggle!  And Vic always looked like he oozed slime, eh?  Blech.

Conveniently, Jeanne Cooper is no longer around to confirm or deny that little tidbit.

Didn't you mean "more self aware and less self important," because if Phyllis was any more self-important, her head wouldn't fit through the doorway at Crimson Lights, and what fun would that be for her.

Well, Jack's always standing around with a glass in his hand, so it must be a case of like father, like son.
