Did you miss the part where Mr. and Mrs. Chancellor opened a Christmas tree lot? Are they running low on cash and why are only people they know all showing up at about the same time at the same lot to buy trees? Was this tree sale a charity event and Katherine wanted to make sure having a diamond broach prominently displayed on her winter garb would distinguish her from any peasants wandering by? Was there no chance she'd be mugged given how dark it appeared and how grease balls like Nick Newman could emerge from the shadows surprising his wife who too happened to be at the same lot? Should maybe Phyllis Newman get Nick a bottle of shampoo and a razor for Christmas? And how about those fingerless gloves Katherine wore? Not a tree sap stain on them, Katherine's shiny nails were untouched by nature. Poor Mr. Chancellor, you almost feel sorry for the old fool. Katherine told him point blank he's lucky to have her ass otherwise he'd be back in the trailer park and selling worms at his bait and tackle shop.

Old Murph might too spend the holiday with the family he claims to have of his own. Katherine mentioned his having one, so what hasn't she invited him to have his family over to the Chancellor Mausoleum for Christmas? Would family members feel out of place what with all the rift-raft living there including Chloe Abbott, who right after being fired by former husband Billy Abbott, having to be escorted from the office of Useless Style Rag, had little problem with Billy being at the mausoleum less than an hour later.

While Billy did get in a good verbal slap across J.T. Hellstrom's face, by implying that Victoria could be out sleeping around again, is there really a need for security at USR? Does that archaic elevator really open into Billy's office, or is that the reception room? Billy had to say what he did to offset J.T.'s moronic statement that he didn't know where Victoria could be. Are the choices that hard? She's either at the Jitter Joint, the Athletic Supporter Hotel/Restaurant, or at her brother's office whining about the need to have a job so as to maintain her "sanity". That nothing is sane in Genoa City was further evidenced when J.T. said that USR is considered to be part of the "national media". Really, you mean like People Magazine?

Hard to say if Sharon Collins purchased her tree from the same lot, the one she had Adam Wilson haul into the Carlton home was wrapped tighter than Patty Williams on a good day. Trees at the K&M lot looked to be loose and fluffy and why anyone would, only days before Christmas, buy a wrapped tree which can take days before the branches straighten out can only be attributed to the fact that Sharon has never actually gone out and got a tree on her own. There are among the rich, slaves to do that kind of work similar to the slave Ashley Newman calls a "nanny" which she said this week she has to race to see who gets to her baby first. And what of this nanny? Is it the same nanny who's father had a heart attack a couple of weeks ago? Has Ashley ever asked how the man is doing? Does she care?
