It's midnight here in the UK, and officially Christmas! Wherever you are in the world, I hope you all have a very happy one.

The Personal Blog of Dr John H Watson.

It feels like I haven't done an entry on here for ages…and that's largely due to one consulting detective dismissing every case he's offered as 'dull' and I'm never included in those, so they're hard to write up. But, it being Christmas Day, I thought today at least should be commemorated on here somehow.

Actually, the fisherman case might be worth a write up…

No, no. Sherlock says it's not.

Christmas has certainly been interesting with him. There's been some disastrous experiments – anyone who's been to the flat in the last few days will have seen the wax – and at points I've honestly just wanted to slam my head against the wall! Surprisingly, amongst all that, it's been one of the most fun Christmases I've had in a while, and I swear to God I've never seen anyone suit a Santa hat quite like Sherlock Holmes.

Right now he's in the kitchen peeling carrots in that hat, and it's probably one of the best (and most bizarre) things I've ever seen, and not something I thought I would. Photos to follow!

Oh God, he's yelling at me to stop writing sentimental rubbish and help with the vegetables. Did I ever mention how charming he was?

For fear of being strangled by a consulting detective, I'll finish now, and wish any person mad enough to read my blog on Christmas Day a very Merry Christmas!
