December 21: "Advent Calendar" (from Werepanther33)
A/N: A tribute to my personal favorite advent calendar, very short, and completely CRACKFIC.
You have been warned!
"I say, Watson," said Holmes as they sat in front of Watson's computer watching the video podcast Grant's Advent Calendar. "That is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard of! A wooden box with a door for each day of December until the 25th? Why on earth would someone want to do that?"
Watson sighed. "To count down the days until Christmas, and—"
"My word!" exclaimed Holmes. "That is one of the most outlandish hair styles I that have ever encountered!"
"I am not sure what he is trying to prove with his hair," admitted Watson. "But before you so rudely interrupted me, I was about to say: believe it or not, some people actually enjoy Christmas traditions, unlike a particularly Scrooge-like detective of my acquaintance."
"Not nice of you to talk about Inspector Lestrade like that," said Holmes in a dead-pan voice.
Watson couldn't help but crack a grin. "You are insufferable."
Holmes smiled as he leaned back and folded his hands behind his head. "I do my best."
A/N: I told you it was short! I might have been able to make this longer, but my muse has gone into visual art mode, which is why I've been uploading things like a maniac on deviantART lately (if anyone here has been on my profile over there).
And I recommend Grant's Advent Calendar (to anyone who has a heart), and I especially recommend Day 9 of this year. *Holds up two thumbs*
