Hey, Upper East Siders. it's Christmas in New York, And along with the season Comes the Constance billard/ St. Judes bazaar, Where the only thing bizarre are the donated items for sale.
Alexa walks around the donation drive, she has always loved Christmas it was her favorite holiday. Since it's only her and her brother, the two do wacky Christmas traditions every year.
Alexa runs into Serena and Blair
"Blair, there you are," Serena says
"I can't talk right now. I'm late" Blair says
Alexa looks at the weridly big candy cane "And I have-- a huge sweet tooth?"
Blair checks her watch "They're for my dad and me. we get them every year, And he landed on parar 27 minutes ago."
"Oh, then vite, vite!" Serena says while pushing Blair
Blair tries to halt a cab but it passes by her
"Nice holiday spirit, Scrooge!" Blair yells
Alexa laughs "Oh, gosh. so it's gonna be a real Waldorf Christmas?"
"Well, a real Waldorf Christmas eve. Eleanor drew the line on Christmas day. That's only for me, her, and Dorota." Blair says
"Well, You still have a couple of days with your dad" Serena smiles
No, it'll be more than just a couple of days. I'm gonna convince him to stay in New York. Blair says
"What about Paris and Roman?" Alexa asks
"Roman is a phase. My father belongs here with me. He only left new york to ride out the scandal. Time to come home, don't you think?" Blair smiles
"Hey, did you want to ask us something?" Blair asks changing the topic
"Yes, a gift idea for Dan now that Vanessa got him the most thoughtful dan-like present ever," Serena says
"Why don't you just buy him a new outfit for Cedric and call it a day?" Blair says while Alexa laughs
"Thank you to the both of you for being totally not helpful at all" Serena says while laughing
I halt a cab for me and Blair
"See you tomorrow night," Serena says to the two of us

Alexa arrives at her penthouse, Rafael is supposed to be coming In today however, its been 2 hours since the original time he was supposed to be here so Alexa decided to call him
"Hey where are you, the hot cocoa is getting cold," Alexa says into the phone
"I'm so so sorry I totally blanked me and some friends went to saint Tropez I forgot to tell you," Rafael says
Alexa trying to not sound upset "Oh that's okay go have fun"
"Hey why don't you fly out here right now, take the jet now and you will be here by Christmas day" Rafael suggests
"I don't think that's a good idea, I know what goes down in Saint Tropez, I went on a party bender there once not a good place for a person who is clean," Alexa says
"Right, Right, I'm so sorry Alexa I promise I will make it up to you, how about New Year I think I can--" Alexa hung up the phone on Rafael mid-sentence
His promises don't mean much to her anymore "Like father like son" she says to herself
Alexa looks around the empty house, she can't remember the last time her home felt like home its just not lively it's hallow and dark, and she can't be here anymore
Alexa picks up her phone and decided to call Bruce. She hasn't seen him at school the past few days and hasn't been answering her calls
Please leave you message for ---
Alexa feels hopeless she decided to go on a walk rather than rot in her "home"
--------------------------
"Dorota's gonna kill you if you get glue on that comforter," Blair says
Waldorf were having a Christmas party and Serena needed help with Dan's gift
"Sorry, we've turned your room into an art studio B, but the clock is ticking," Serena says
"I'm done" Vanessa shows the computer screen
"Oh, my gosh" Eric says
"Wow. that--that's amazing" Alexa adds
Serena smiles "Thank you so much, Vanessa. this is gonna be... incredible."
"Good. I'm glad I could help. I think he'll really love it." Vanessa says
Alexa and Blair look at each other, Vanessa's eyes scream I love Dan
"Vanessa? I think I'd like to help with this little project." Would you come and help me and Alexa find another pair of scissors?" Blair says while Alexa follows
Blair closes the bathroom door =
"It's so nice what you're doing for your friend Dan, Helping his girlfriend make his Christmas present." Blair states
"Serena is so grateful because she likes to see the best in people" Alexa adds
Blair smiles "I like to see the truth."
Vanessa looks at both girls "Yeah? and what's that?"
"We think you like Dan a little too much," Alexa says
"Just thought I should let you know someone's watching" Blair adds moving towards the door
"Merry Christmas," Alexa says with a smile
They all leave the bathroom
"I'm taking off. call me when you're done?" Vanessa says in a rush
Serena looks confused "Okay. where are you going?"
"I'm gonna go check on my daddy," Blair says
Serena rolls her eyes "I thought you were gonna help"
"I think my work's done here" Blair walks out of her bedroom
"Oh, Hello," Lilly says to Alexa and her children
Feeling her presents isn't wanted, Alexa gets up and leaves "Hi and good-bye"
-----------------------
Alexa wakes up the next morning its Christmas day. Bruce isn't answering her calls, Chuck and Nate are out of town and Blair and Serena are with their families
Hear those silver bells? it's Christmas time in the city. Some families actually do make the yuletide gay, Managing to leave their troubles far away
There's a feeling that Alexa hasn't felt since a year ago
Some presents might end up getting returned...
Alexa didn't have a tree or any Christmas gifts besides the ones from B and S. She didn't want to be alone she wanted to forget
Other presents come when you least expect them
Alexa walks to her father's liquor cabinet is more hers than his
And everyone knows
She opens a bottle of Jack Daniel Whisky
The biggest present comes in the smallest box.
and drinks the whole bottle
Then there are those boxes
Alexas eyes started feeling heavy
You wish you had never opened
