Holiday Drabble - 1 Dec 2012

[monkeybard]

On a whim I decided to see if I could write and post a holiday drabble a day this month. I have a few holiday items/traditions in mind, but if you'd like to add to my list, please post in the comments. These are all going to be BBC Sherlock. At least that is the plan. If another whim takes me, you might see a different fandom, but I'm still going to try to do a Sherlock-a-day holiday drabble. Wish me luck!

Here's the first one.

Christmas Sweater
Rating: G
Spoilers: None

Sherlock barely glanced up, but it was enough. “You’re not wearing that, are you?”

John looked at his jumper and played dumb. “What? It’s warm.”

“It’s hideous.”

“That’s the point.”

At that, his friend looked at him properly. “The point to what?”

“It’s ‘Ugly Christmas Sweater Day’ at the clinic. The new office manager planned it.”

“The American.” The words dripped disdain.

John nodded, still feigning innocence. It had taken searching through several second-hand shops to find what promised to be the winning entry. “There’s a contest. Homemade sweets were mentioned as the prize.”

Sherlock’s eyes lit up. “Good luck!”

!!! Whee! This is delightful. And a whole month of your drabbles to look forward to? :-D :-D :-D

Thanks! If you think of any prompts, please let me know. I have enough to get me halfway to Christmas.

Oh! Well, if you need prompts... ;-) *gleefully rubs hands*

Here, try a few of these on for size:

- a dead caroler
- a moth-eaten Santa suit
- bitter perfume
- corkscrew
- Lestrade (hey, you knew it was coming...)

I'm happy to suggest others, too. Merry drabbling! :-)
