   Summary

   John is unexpectedly invited to share Christmas with Sherlock’s family. But the seasonal celebrations bring back difficult memories for them both. This is my attempt to understand something of the damage that binds these two men together, so angst, and hurt/comfort, but with a fluffy happy ending.

   Readers have asked me to transfer this story across to the easier interface of AO3, and I thought this would be the time to do it.
