Here (but quite long..)
It was the most wonderful time of the year...well, for some at least. To say our UESers had an eventful Christmas is putting it lightly. From near ice skating fatalities to parents breaking up and making up to doing 'it' on the floor of an art gallery in Brooklyn, this Christmas was one for the books.
Blair had been waiting for months to see her father, Harold. He had left Blair's mother earlier in the year for a male model named Roman and the two jetted off to Paris to live happily ever after. Blair was so excited to see her father and was in for a huge surprise when Harold arrived in New York...avec Roman. Blair was furious. She was expecting alone time with her daddy. She didn't want to share him with the man who broke up her parents' marriage. Blair decided to take this matter into her own hands. She was going to drive Roman away. There was only room for one Prada clad fashionista in her daddy's life. And she was definitely it.
Blair, along with her mom and dad, and ugh Roman, headed to her favorite place in New York during Christmastime: the Wollman Ice Rink in Central Park. Out on the ice, Roman was a mess. Surya Bonaly, Roman was not (hope he doesn't model like he skates). Blair decided to play with Roman's weakness and she quickly put on her very own version of the Blair Capades (sans the glittery leotard). As Roman slid towards her with his arms open looking for help, Blair held her arms open too, but instead of reaching out she put her foot out. And with that Roman took a nasty spill. Blair: all the grace of Nancy Kerrigan, but packing the punch of Tonya Harding.
Blair was expecting her father to send Roman back to the penthouse and therefore spend the day with just her. But Blair's plan didn't work out the way she wanted to. Instead, Harold went with Roman to ice his ankle. Blair was livid. She just didn't understand how this French fox stole her father and her mother's husband and was looked at as an innocent lamb. Eleanor told her daughter Roman wasn't always that pure. He once had a wild steak and an even wilder boyfriend, a fellow model named Freddy. And once again, Blair had another conniving scheme up her sleeve. Little known fact: Serena van der Woodsen did a print ad for Gap when she was twelve (don't you remember the ad? It was all over city buses and there was that huge billboard in Time's Square). Well, luckily for Blair, Serena's email log-in for her model website still worked and Blair was able to access all of Freddy's information. Looked like she was going to have a field day with that...
Over in Brooklyn, it looked like Christmas miracles were not on the agenda. When the Humphrey family was opening up some Christmas cards, they were surprised to find one from a guy named Alex asking Alison to meet him. Turned out, this was the guy Alison was being very "friendly" with up in Hudson. Alison said she and Alex were over for good. She had no more contact with him whatsoever. Rufus told his family they were going to pretend that moment never happened. However, it seemed like Rufus couldn't exactly take his own advice. He went to the bar Alex had asked to meet Alison him at and sure enough, Alex was there waiting. Rufus and Alex had a very interesting talk and it was revealed that Alison hadn't been all that truthful to Rufus. She had wanted to meet Alex. When Rufus returned home, he confronted Alison. The two realized that as much as they tried to save their marriage, maybe this whole thing just wasn't going to work out. Looked like the only thing the Humphreys were getting from Santa this year was divorce papers.
Over in the Dan, Serena, Vanessa world, Vanessa was totally leading in the Christmas gift giving department. Vanessa entered one of Dan's stories into a contest at The New Yorker and he won. His story was going to be published in his favorite magazine of all time (as well as the quintessential reading material for all NYC intellects). Serena was a bit tiffed. Vanessa's present was like the best present in the entire world. Serena was Dan's girlfriend so she needed an even better gift than Vanessa's. But really what was better than getting published in The New Yorker? Serena thought maybe a very expensive and fancy watch would be comparable. Oh, Serena, you know that's really not Dan's style. Dan and Serena agreed they would get each other more thoughtful gifts, but with a price limit of $50 (which would be hard since Serena doesn't even wash her hair with shampoo that costs less than $50). This was going to be a challenge. Vanessa offered Serena some help but Serena told her "no." She was Dan's girlfriend and she could do this by herself. Or so she made herself believe.
Dan knew exactly what to get Serena for Christmas. Living in a hotel is not the most comfortable of places. Not only are you forced to pass like a bajillion tourists on your way in and out but you also have no stove, oven and use a dorm room sized refrigerator thus forcing you to eat room service for every meal. Another down side: no Christmas trees. Serena was crushed. What's Christmas without a tree? Dan wanted to change that. With Jenny's help, Dan lugged a tree all the way up Madison Avenue to The Palace Hotel. Unfortunately, once Dan and Jenny arrived at the hotel, they had no idea how to sneak a huge tree into the building without anyone noticing. As luck would have it, they ran into Lily and she gave the Humphrey kids a hint: Bobby at the service entrance could probably help. Thanks, Lily!
Serena finally conceded and asked Vanessa to help her get the perfect gift for Dan. Vanessa told Serena that Dan really wasn't into things. All Dan wanted for Christmas was snow. But how could Serena give him that? That was impossible. Vanessa told her she had a few ideas. And with that, the two transformed Dan's dad's gallery into a true winter wonderland. It was lit up with a projection of snow falling on the walls and cut out snowflakes all around, along with a big fluffy white blanket on the floor. When Dan arrived, he was stunned. It was everything he had ever wanted. And from the only girl he ever wanted. Dan sat down on the floor with Serena and admitted to her that the story he had written that was being published in The New Yorker was actually about her. Serena was touched and they started kissing. Then, one thing led to another and let's just say the virgin from Brooklyn may still be from Brooklyn but he ain't a virgin no more.
Eleanor Waldorf was one busy lady in 2007. Not only did she have a Bendel's line but she was also launching her very own Victoria's Secret sleepwear and lingerie collection. In honor of the deal, Eleanor made her Christmas Eve party Victoria's Secret themed. Everything seemed to be going great. Well, that was until Freddy showed up. Yep, the guy who used to bring out the crazy side in Roman. Harold was shocked. What was Freddy doing there? They were only in New York for a few days and Roman felt the need to call his old lover? As Harold got mad at Roman, Blair just sat back and relished. But her happiness was soon crushed when Eleanor figured out it was Blair who organized the reunion. Freddy admitted Blair offered him a free cruise and to pay for his gym membership if he showed up to the party. Harold was extremely angry with Blair. She was definitely not showing true Christmas spirit.
Harold was very upset with Blair. Roman had been nothing but nice to her and she went and did this. Eleanor told him it wasn't Roman that Blair was lashing out at, It was Harold. Blair had expected her father to come to New York alone, not with his lover. Harold understood. He just thought that when they got there everything would just be fine. Eleanor reminded Harold Blair learned scheming from her mother and unrealistic dreaming from her father. Harold went to talk to Blair and told her she would always be a part of his life. No matter what. And as part of Harold's Christmas gift to Blair, he showed her pictures of her room in his newly bought chateau in France. A beautiful designed bedroom (complete with everything Audrey) would always be there for her whenever she wanted to visit. And maybe she could even come for the whole summer? Blair was ecstatic. It was exactly what she wanted from her father.
On Christmas morning at The Palace Hotel, the Van der Woodsens were joined by Bart Bass. As Lily's phone rang, Bart told she should ignore the call. He had something important to say. And then Bart did the unthinkable. He went down on one knee and asked Lily for her hand in marriage. Serena and Eric were taken aback. Bart wanted to marry their mother? Their mom getting married was nothing new but to Bart Bass? Chuck's dad? Serena and Chuck: brother and sister? Gag me. It seemed like that call Lily received was just a few seconds too late. It was Rufus. He had been outside the hotel calling her to tell her he loved her. Oops. Lily didn't give Bart an answer. Looks like she's going to need to think about it. Or more importantly, think about who she'd rather be with: Bart or Rufus. Ah, the most important decision she'll ever have to make. Pick fast! We're all waiting!
Over at the Waldorf penthouse, everyone was incredibly happy. This new extended family (and of course, Dorota) actually seemed to be, gulp, enjoying each other's company? Now that's a first for the UES. But the moment was sure shot down when Blair received an unexpected text message. It was from Chuck. The message read, "DON'T WORRY, B. WHO WOULD I TELL?" And attached was a picture of him and Nate, together, in Monaco. Uh oh. Let's hope Chuck didn't get too drunk at Le Symbole one night and let the big secret loose. Actually, on second thought, we hope he does cave in and tells Nate about sleeping with Blair. Would make for a pretty exciting New Year. Don't you think?
All I want for Christmas is you.
Yes it was new
Yes it was new. Rufus and the mom (what is her name) have decided to call it quits. So then he ended up calling Lilly at the end and telling her he missed her. Serena and Dan sealed the deal. Chuck went overseas somewhere for the holidays, and that left Blair and Nate alone. They also sealed the deal. Blair tried to screw things up for her dad and his boyfriend,but got busted. Thats about it.
YES.
it was amazing, btw.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :D
It was new and It was good
