Author's Notes: 60 words of my own inspired by one of the canon stories. Title and content inspired by the carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas," and the fact that Watson drops in on Holmes on "the second morning after Christmas," which would be the third day, if I recall correctly (25 December - 6 January).

BLUE – Three Fine Things
It was a case well befitting the season. On the third day of Christmas, fortune brought to me: a chance-lost goose, a stolen carbuncle, and Watson, whose presence always heightens my enjoyment of any mystery. The case was singular, and well worth the trifling exertions required to solve it; but how much more so, with my Watson by my side!
