you cannot script a hurricane

Ho- Ho- Holy sh*t, it's that time of the year again! And even though I'm late as usual (or even later?) I hope many of you will join this year's postal holiday fun. Not fandom-exclusive, we're just keeping the name for sentimental reasons. Read more below.

This is the “official” copy-cat post of this year’s exchange. It’s heavily inspired by the original blog and doesn’t intend to take over or imitate it in any disrespectful way. Rather, it’s a homage to the wonderful exchanges of the past years.

WHAT

Originally it started as a Christmas card exchange in the Sherlock fandom some years ago. Lovely people sent seasonal greetings to other lovely people all over the world cheering up their often stressful and exhausting pre-Christmas period. As time has gone by, I know the Sherlock fandom has been put into a sort of coma and people found other fandoms. That’s why this isn’t an exclusive Sherlock event, but an overall-lovely-people-providing-Christmas-spirit-and-we’re-just-keeping-the-name-for-traditional-reasons-exchange. You want to send and receive Christmas post? You’re in! 💌

WHEN

Register until Saturday, 6th December 2025.

Exchange begins Monday, 8th December 2025.

HOW

Send me your name, postal address and any internet handle you want to add (tumblr, twitter, Instagram, etc.) to sherlock-xmas-exchange at outlook.com.

After I’ve received all your information I’ll create a PDF file and send it to all participants. Then you can immediately start writing, creating and sending Christmas mail to your heart’s content.

RULES

1. All information on the list you’ll receive is confidential and not to be sent or shown to anyone else.

2. Send at least one card to the person below you on the list.

3. Be friendly, cheery and nice to each other. :)

Today Juliet and I found the key to the 4th World. We realise now that we have had it in our possession for about 6 months but we only realized it on the day of the death of Christ. We saw a gateway through the clouds. Everything was full of peace and bliss. We then realized we had the key. When we die we will go to the 4th World, but meanwhile on two days every year we may use the key and look in to that beautiful world which we have been lucky enough to be allowed to know of, on this Day of Finding the Key to the Way through the Clouds. —Pauline Parker, diary entry, Friday, April 3, 1953

I believe Will has a vivid imagination, that can be related to schizophrenia, which to me, is his real diagnosis, although I like to have a triple analysis of media, a psychological one, a mythopoetic one, and a spiritual one.
