#holmes for holidays

[finalproblem]

The Sherlockian New Year’s Celebration in The Giant Chat of Sumatra starts NOW!

Don't have New Year's Eve plans? Now you do—it’s our 12th Annual Very Casual New Year’s Eve Party!

As always, we’ll talk, play games, and hang out as we count down to the New Year in London.

The party begins Sunday, December 31, 11:00 pm UTC (London time) / Sunday, December 31, 6:00 pm US Eastern (New York time). [Convert to your time zone.] You can drop in any time—though remember we’re counting down to midnight in London so it’s best to arrive before that!

Everyone’s invited, even if you’ve never joined the chat before. 

We’ll see you in the #giantchat channel of The Giant Chat of Sumatra Discord server! 🥳

Sin Takes a Holiday (1930), but make it literal

Reference:

I was watching this movie and realised it had Basil Rathbone in it. So I thought I'd do a little retelling of this scene.

Sherlock's journal:

Italy with John part 2:

We attended a former client's wedding in Rome.

Got me some ideas.

I should make a decent man out of my doctor.

Well, not too decent.

VHS CHRISTMAS CAROL: LIVE!

[itsawritblr]

221B Baker Street Christmas!

I'm making my house a Murder Mystery Christmas. My newest acquisition is a Department 56 Literary Classics model of Sherlock Holmes' house, with Sherlock and Watson!

It's all set for the season with garland and wreath, a table full of tiny British Xmas foods, a Christmas tree, and three annoying carolers. Miss Marple, Father Brown, and Hercule Poirot watch over them like Guardian Angels.

Dr. Moriarty left them a plum pudding. I don't think they'll eat it.

A better look at the two.

J: So in summary: We received a call from the North Pole saying Santa was missing somewhere in his London stretch of his voyage.

S: Correct.

J: And we are required to "Save Christmas."

S: Also correct.

J: We tracked down the stolen presents, freed the reindeer, located the kidnappers and rescued Santa.

S: Succinctly put.

J: Should probably mention some of this to Lestrade... you think he will believe us?

S: If he wants to remain on the nice list.

Petition to take Holmes to the countryside so he can relax and complain about being bored for the memes and rest and look at bees

[sherlollysecretsanta]

Before I start planning for a new round, I want to see if there's still interest enough to put in the work for it. I'm also thinking of opening up a wishlist/gift card posting blog specifically for all the Sherlock Holmes-adjacent fandoms at @holmesfortheholidays, which I will officially open around Thanksgiving.

This form will stay open until October 31st.

i wish you could have worn the antlers

some things are best left to the imagination

Me, who has read all of ACD canon, listening to The Shoscomble Old Place:

[meandhisjohn]

Sherlock's diary:

Our very last stop was Glamis Castle in Scotland.

My favourite castle in Britain,  and of course John knew it.

I must talk in my sleep.

Nevertheless, the castle is opulent and most interesting.

Founded by the Lyon family in 1372.

Secrets, ghosts, and legends, like the sinful card game in the 15th century when Lord Glamis gambled with the devil.

Or the grey lady, a former Lady Glamis who was burnt for being a witch in 1537.

And there is the secret chamber where not only the cruel Lord Beardie gambled,  but also the legend of a deformed child hidden there for his entire life.

We ended our stay with a glamorous dinner and a staging of Macbeth

 ( Yes, I'm aware of the curse)

My John in a tuxedo, doesn't he look dashingly handsome?!

You don't need to grin, I'm allowed to be smitten.

We talk about my future husband.

It was an unforgettable journey.

Another one for us....
