Watson is so lovely, and Holmes is so adorable. gah. I love them.

Pahahahahahaha oh my god this is INCREDIBLE pahahahahah!

I LOVE the insanity and ridiculousness of Holmes and Watson's life and personalities being highlighted through the eyes of a normal (although above averagely perspicacious) person. It's so well done, and so funny - even more so because the humour rings so true to character. Holmes and Watson *are* eccentric bohemian weirdos who emphatically do not act how people are *supposed* to act. In the context of their bizarre and outre cases, that doesn't stand out so much. Stick them in a department store at Christmas, however, and suddenly you get to enjoy their social oddness so much more (also, like *relatableeeeeeeee*). (and also CUTE! I love them!)

Anyway. I'll shut up now. But I love this. Such fun. And I was/am in a black mood this evening, but this has made me properly laugh out loud. Thank you 3

*slams NEXT CHAPTER*

I've worked in retail (a bookstore) for a couple of years now and it absolutely boggles my mind the see how utterly unobservant people can be. The little rant expresses some of my inner thoughts when I see people just walk by the very thing they're looking for. I'm a patient person by nature but even my patience has its limits especially during the holidays. George orwell's little essay title "bookstore memories" sums up the incongruity that is a bookstore. And even though it has been a many years since that essay was written it has not lost the ability to be so relatable.

This is hilarious! I guess from the POV of passerby and "normal" people, Watson and Sherlock would seem a bit (that's an understatement) strange. I especially liked how Watson was looking at all the weapons, and Timothy thought he might be a murderer or something. That and other parts made me laugh out loud (but muffled, trying not to let anyone hear). Extremely amusing :)

I actually have never been shopping for Christmas gifts, so I'm afraid I might be acting quite like Holmes in this case...

But anyway, this is completely hilarious and heartwarming and I am very amused by your store clerk and his canny observations. This is much appreciated at the time *smiles*

God bless and have a wonderful holiday season!

I would very much like to read the sequel to this, the other story he mentioned, coils you bring Timothy Crachitt back again? I actually liked him.

I love this story! As crazy as it may have been, it's not often a writer has the talent to write their own character into a story with classic characters well, and typically I won't read them. But this, was just fantastic. I loved it, everyone was in character and it made me laugh very much

God bless you!

Brilliant story to read after The Immortality Trilogy.

I cried as much laughing at this one as I cried in sadness in the other.

Please tell me you wrote the other story as well?

Why do I never read christmas related stories at the right time of the year? XD But never mind that, it was truly an enjoyable story. I feel quite sorry for Timothy since it really must have been strange to him.

For us readers however, it was more then interesting and quite amusing all the way

Very charming. I, in particular, would love to read more about Timothy, if you have the time, that is.

Brilliant and heartwarming and chaotic - will always be one of my favorite Christmas reads:)

I will keep your friends' families in my prayers - time lessens pain but it never truely goes away

Merry Christmas:)

Very nice. :) Another brilliantly fun story. It ended kind of abruptly, but since it was the last Timothy saw of them I suppose it makes sense. I'd love to see more of Timothy. He was a very fun character.

Describing Holmes as "London's most bizarre shopper" is highly appropriate, especially after finishing the chapter. This is hilarious! On to the next chapter.

Got a real kick out of "no one could possibly be as bizarre as those two- not in real life." *snicker* I love the humor you so freely inject in this story. And the perspective of Timothy is quite engaging, if unconventional. And what an awful name. What were his parents thinking!

"...he had just in essence asked me if we carried lethal weapons for holiday gifting to friends and family." Best line ever! I laughed out loud at this whole scenario. And I'm enjoying the outsider's perspective on our lovely doctor.
