UPDATE: @KRobert has found the missing gnomes!

Spoiler
The Gnome of Switchmas Past brought them to this post of the Twelve Days of Switchmas song the Community wrote together! Now we wait to see what the next nightly visit brings for our gnomes…

Our favorite time of year is here again. I fear the gnomes may have lost their Switchmas spirit though! I had to force them to join in decking the halls, nary a prank has been played, and their usual hoodwinks and hijinks have all but ceased! Now, it seems they have gone missing entirely. 

 

It all started last night…

 

The gnomes were up late helping me pack up some old equipment to send off for repair when I must have dozed off, because the next thing I knew, I awoke to a loud tolling of bells. Clang! Clang! Clang! In the silence that followed, it soon became apparent that the gnomes had vanished without a trace! I began to search for them when suddenly a spirit appeared.

A glowing gnome dressed all in white stood before me and spoke. 

 

“I am the Gnome of Switchmas Past.”

 

Aghast, I asked what business the gnome had here.

 

“I am the first of three spirits to haunt your gnomes. Each night, as the bell tolls one, a spirit will come to whisk them off to a place in the Community. Solve the clues in order to discover their location and bring them back! You just might discover the true meaning of Switchmas along the way.”

 

Then, with a soft flicker of light and a whoosh! as if from a candle being blown out, the gnome vanished. 

 

All that remains is this clue on a scrap of paper:

 

Borrowing from a fave holiday song,

We made up the words as we went along.

With one line to start, 

We wrote from the heart, 

To share what we thought the Twelve Days should be.

 

Can you help me find where the Gnome of Switchmas Past has taken them?

 

If you find them, please comment BELOW with “I FOUND THE GNOMES!” and a link to the post where they are. The first to comment with the correct link will win a Meraki Cloud Pin Set as thanks for your help.
