Oh, holiday treasure hunts! Next December at the Holmeses is going to be innnnteresting. And how lucky for Sherlock that there was something of interest in the bottle; I was half afraid that, after all that buildup, there'd only be a note saying something like, "Pray, Wilberforce, forget not to purchase milk."
It strikes me that my mom may be a secret Holmes (since her mother is a secret Time Lord, after all). She decided to give my cousin his holiday wish this year, Cold Hard Cash. By which she meant fifty dollars in dollar coins, frozen into a block of ice, with a clue hunt to lead him to the freezer. My dad and my sister and I were responsible for setting up the clue hunt, and I ended up being the one to write out the rhyming clues. It was all very silly fun, but my cousin took it with good grace.
