Holiday Programming

If a website ran like a major TV network, life would get very simple when the holidays roll around. We’d simply put our usual programming on hiatus and trot out those old familiar  Christmas specials . . . or anything else having to do with Christmas or Hanukkah or Kwanza . Unfortunately,  Sherlock Peoria can’t just . . . hey, wait a minute!

We’ve got old holiday material!

Things like:

Under The Tree At 221B
An exploration of Holmes/Watson gift exchanges from The Baker Street Chronicle, Volume 2, Number 6, November-December 1982.

The Blue Carbuncle and Sherlock’s Real Last Name.

Episode Sixty-Eight: Coasting Out the Year
