It's a sad Christmas day for Eric: most of the family has either left L.A. altogether and the rest has opted to celebrate at their own homes to start new traditions. Quinn's idea to have Eric call his children to appeal to them one more time proves in vain as well. Therefore, Eric prepares to spend the evening with Quinn, Wyatt, Pam and Charlie. Meanwhile, Bill pays ex-wife Katie a visit and gifts his son Will with stocks to get him interested in business at an early age. At Brooke's, Rick is reading "The Night before Christmas" as Brooke, Ridge, R.J. and Maya with Lizzie sit by the Christmas tree. Over in Malibu, Steffy and Liam celebrate their first Christmas together as a reunited couple. Later, Eric is overjoyed when all of them - despite previous announcements to the contrary - arrive at the Forrester Mansion to gather around the piano to sing Christmas Carrols.
