What to Get the Person Who Has Everything! proclaimed the headline.

“Useless,” muttered Sherlock. Nobody had everything. What people had were enough things that it was difficult to make an impression. That was Sherlock’s problem: When you gave someone all Twelve Days of Christmas, what could you get them after that?

The article suggested Chocolate! Sherlock scoffed.

But then he considered the things that one could do with chocolate. Unclothed. Scientifically. Maybe that article did have a point.

“What are you getting John for Christmas?” Mycroft asked.

“Chocolate,” Sherlock said simply. Best not to get into the rest, he decided.
