It has been a hectic holiday season, but I am determined to finish the challenge before the New Year!

Prompt from Domina Temporis: 'Twas the Night before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas

And all down Baker Street

No detective was stirring

On the chase with quick feet

He and the doctor were tucked in their beds

While downstairs the mice tucked in to shortbread

Mrs Hudson had baked it special that day

For her tenants to eat while she was away

The mice had a nibble, then saved the rest

For the two upstairs who loved it the best,

As Basil and Dawson were considerate guests

And knew Christmas Eve shortbread tasted the best!
