A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update. I've been in Philly (I'm from New York) without a computer. I'm not a doctor so if you are I'm sorry if I messed it up. The next song thing isn't really a song but I think it counts.

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

ICU

House has transported the Whiteboard into the ICU.

"Any ideas people?" House asked.

"Shingles" Foreman suggested.

"That wouldn't cause the resistive to sedatives." Chase commented

"What about Shingles and something else, like a built up restive." Foreman said.

"But I haven't had any sedatives until now." Cameron added.

"If it is Shingles we need to put you on antiviral drugs immediately." Chase said.

"Fair enough put her on antiviruls until we can figure it out." House said "And you should rest. Chase stay here. Foreman test for shingles and anything else like it."

With that everyone spilt.

"You're in for heart repair tomorrow." Chase said.

"Just how I want to spend my Christmas."

"It could be worse."

"Yeah, right."

"We could be snowed in with a bored House."

"I thought that is what we are."

"He's not bored for now but that's not the real question."

"Then what is the real question?"

"Turkey or meatloaf?"

Cuddy's office

"What have you found?" Cuddy asked annoyed. She didn't want House pulling off another one of his stunts especially with one of her staff members.

"Foreman thinks Shingles and at any moment he's going to barge in here with the test results."

Bang the door opened

"She tested positive for Shingles."

"Ha" said House. "Anything else?"

"No, but it still doesn't explain the resistance to sedatives. I think it might be neurological."

"Yes, I know we've already been over this and surprise surprise a neurologist thinks it's a neurological problem. Well if you think its neurological get out your big book of neurology and look for a syndrome that causes this."

Foreman turns around annoyed but doesn't say anything. He goes to look for a cause.

"And what are you going to do?"

"General Hospital is on."

Cuddy wanted to stop him but she knew he wouldn't listen and that he needed to think. She didn't think to remind him about clinic duty.

TBC

A/N: My brother had Shingles and it is extremely painful. He couldn't even take a bath without crying out from pain. (He was 8) Next up Silver bells.
