[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 434203, member: 27"] What seemed an odd writing choice at the time---Drew stealing all of the Quartermaine family heirlooms from Tracy out of spite---would have made perfect sense if the timing had been different. He took their stuff about a week before Thanksgiving. Had he taken all those things closer to Christmas (like...this week) then it would have been a clever take on [I]How the Grinch Stole Christmas, [/I]since much of the Q heirlooms are said to be Christmas-related items like Alan's train set. Grinch Drew thinks that he's ruined the Q Christmas by taking their ornaments, decorations, etc., but we see the Quartermaines unite for a happy family holiday without all those things, leaving Drew out in the cold and still miserable. Of course Drew's heart won't "grow three sizes" or any of that happy-ending stuff, but at least it's not the overused [I]Christmas Carol [/I]takeoff so many soaps do. That said, it is rather odd that GH hasn't decorated ANY of their sets for Christmas this year. I saw an ep of Y&R the other day and their whole "town" was choking in tinsel and ribbons. [/QUOTE]
