In response to sagredo's prompt - Watson receives Christmas cards from grateful patients and his readers. What does he do with them?
Holmes was shocked one day whilst cleaning (nosing around because he was bored) to discover a trunk in Watson's room that was stuffed full of Christmas correspondence. Interested, Holmes picked a few and began to read.
Deer dokta Wotson,
Fanks for seting my leg! It reely hurt but its much beter now.
Merry Christmas!

Dear Doctor Watson,
Christmas is a time when I can look at my family and feel immensely grateful for everything I have. And everything I've been given. You saved both mine and my daughter's life last month and I want to thank you, and wish you a very merry Christmas, from all of the family!
Best wishes,
Jane Wilson
Dear Mr Watson,
Merry Christmas! I am a big fan of your work, and although I know that you killed off your main character, Sherlock Holmes, perhaps you could continue the series looking at another character? Or bring back Sherlock Holmes?
Faithfully yours.
Phillip Smith
PS If you keep writing your books, I promise that I will definitely buy them myself, instead of just borrowing from Jimmy like I did before. I asked my mum and she said that that might be the reason you killed off Sherlock Holmes.
