12 Days of Sherlolly Drabbles



I Saw Aunt Molly Kissing Santa Claus

Rosie Watson had reached that age when she began to suspect there was something hinky about Santa Claus.

She’d shared her suspicions with Aunt Molly and Uncle Sherlock. Molly had stuttered and reassured her that Santa really did deliver toys on Christmas Eve. Sherlock had praised her for Observing and Deducing.

Later, she’d heard Daddy on the phone. “Fix it or I’ll show you just how observant I can be. Shall I deduce why your coat was covered in cat hair when you waltzed into Baker Street yesterday morning?”

Rosie resolved to settle the issue on her own. Was Santa a jolly fat man with a magic sleigh, or (like her friend said) was it Daddy?

Molly put her to bed on Christmas Eve because Daddy had to help Sherlock. Rosie had planned to get up and wait for Santa at ten, but she heard Daddy’s shower just after nine. She crept down the hall and froze at the sight of a tall man with a bushy white beard and a red suit kissing Aunt Molly under the mistletoe.

He winked at Rosie, put a finger to his lips, and slipped out the door.

Oddly, Santa had Uncle Sherlock’s eyes.
