A/N: Here's two holiday tales, plus a bi~g monster of a horror story I wrote for Neil Gaiman's All Hallow's Read: [click] It features my Moriarty clan, but as it's AU, no pre-knowledge whatsoever is required.

Amusements

After the unexpected goose in 1887, Christmas dinners at 221B’s became a habit. Mrs Hudson insisted on cooking ‘the proper way’, for at least two dozen people, and so friends were drilled in unquestionable attendance. It was a time of amusements, such as Watson’s face when Lestrade asked the young man in Mycroft’s company for his name – which was Jane.


Christmas Parade

A charitable ghost in the extended family once decided to give us siblings a family Christmas. It turned out as successful as we had expected: west wing blown up, tree on fire, trenches all down the servants’ corridors. A Moriarty always remembers their motto: last kid standing gets the sweets.

Come to think of it, not so bad after all.

I love the Moriarty family motto:-) And the description of the aftermath of a family Christmas is quite extraordinary:-)

A busy Christmas in Baker Street is quite appealling, too.

LOL! Both fun little pieces!

I would have loved to see Watson's expression as well!

I love the mental images this bit conjures, and imagining what happened to cause all that chaos.
