Re: So what would YOU give Sherlock for Christmas?
Any book by Christopher Hitchens, but probably his autobiography.

Great choice!

Don't make people into heroes John. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one of them.

Ancient Hebrew isn't that difficult to decipher - I learnt it within a few weeks.
Considering that even an ancient Chinese dialect wasn't a big problem for Sherlock you would have to choose something more complicated than this to please him...
You must be a genius then, because I'm trying to learn the current Hebrew and I still can't figure it out. >_<

I would give him a nice task he can deal with until next Christmas: "Find the squaring of the circle."

John: "Have you spoken to Mycroft, Molly, uh, anyone?"
Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."

Re: So what would YOU give Sherlock for Christmas?
Am I the only one who, whenever I get to that scene, I have to pause due to the awkwardness of it? It's litterally too much awkwardness for me to bear.
Having said that, I would buy him a fridge.

Re: So what would YOU give Sherlock for Christmas?
He's got one of those!
But yeah I agree, very awkward all round!
I would give him a book by Christopher Hitchens.

A Pocket John, of course. Oh wait, what about red pants. He'll love it.

I would have thought people on a Sherlock fansite would be more... perceptive. Of course he's got one. In which he constantly stashes severed body parts of deceased people along with edible stuff. John and Mrs. Hudson would be very thankful for two fridges don't you think? One for Sherlock's experimants and one for food.

Re: So what would YOU give Sherlock for Christmas?
Yeah, but she does the shopping for the boys. And cleaning. She uses their fridge quite a lot.

Re: So what would YOU give Sherlock for Christmas?
Well, I dressed as Christmas Glamour Fail Molly for a Halloween party, and my present contained a gruesomely realistic latex replica of a human heart (which I had lots of fun showing off to unsuspecting partygoers who asked "What's in the box?"). After all, what more symbolic gift could a socially awkward pathologist bestow? :D Only hers would be the real thing, of course, on account of her morgue access.

Re: So what would YOU give Sherlock for Christmas?
I'd like to give him a really nice set of Tupperware boxes for his body parts. Complete with little stickers which of course he's never going to use.
