I've been thinking - what if the Epiphany was Watson's birthday? And the Feast of Asses was Holmes' birthday.
Every year they'd go through the routine of new acquaintances congratulating Watson on his birthday and then saying, "The Feast of the Epiphany? That would have been such an appropriate birthday for you, Mr. Holmes! So what feast day were you born on...?" No wonder Holmes was in such a foul mood on the 7th at the beginning of VALL ^___^
