Advent Drabble 7 - Christmas Flavors

[earlgreytea68]

For chocolamousse 

When you think about it, there’s a shocking lack of food in the Twelve Days of Christmas. Unless you count all the birds, which – John thinks about Perdy the partridge and decidedly does not count any of the birds in the carol as food. So that just leaves him with the maids a-milking, he supposes.

He is aware that he could make any number of Christmas foods – plum pudding, or a Christmas trifle – but it needs to be Twelve Days of Christmas-related. It’s romantic.

John makes them simple cups of steamed milk with honey and cinnamon. Sherlock, gratifyingly, gets it.

Oh that's lovely - milk for John and honey for Sherlock. The perfect combination.

And yes, it's weird that there's no food in the 12 days of Christmas . . .
