Once again, it was that time of year. The time of year in which The Holmes Elders insisted on all of their children joining them in their home for dinner. Yes, that time was Christmas time.
It was a funny time of year, especially when two of the siblings were far from the pair expected to supply presents for anyone. The house was fully kitted out with all the Christmas paraphernalia; tree, tinsel, mistletoe etc. Sherlock rolled his eyes at the amount there was.
He sighed to himself as he sat at the table in the kitchen reading the newspaper. There was nothing much going on within it but his phone did keep pinging. It was Molly and Lestrade messaging him. He simply glanced and dismissed the messages. That was however, until his phone moaned.
Sherlock's eyes widened and he quickly folded down the paper to look at the phone on the table. He glanced at his brother and sister before quickly grabbing it and picking it up. He could not let them know.
Unfortunately however, there was one person missing from the family equation; their brother James. He was busy off fighting in Afghanistan and did not know if he'd be able to get leave for Christmas. That did tend to upset things a little. But right now, Sherlock's phone continually kept moaning as more and more texts came through.
