  1. What a lot of talented clue writers. A Christmas treat to solve the puzzle. Many thanks to flashman for the organisation and to johninterred for his contribution.
    Best wishes to all compilers, editors, bloggers, contributors and lurkers for the festive season and 2025.

  2. I’ve just printed this off and look forward to having a go when things quieten down a bit 😄
    But in the meantime, many thanks to Flashman for resurrecting this Christmas treat, and to all the gang who contributed. It will be fun wondering who did what!
    Have fun everyone 🎅🎄

  3. I wonder if anyone will be able to spot any of the setters from their regular comments on TfTT. Probably too difficult …

    1. Yes, I wondered about that too. Maybe the clue-setters will take the opportunity to let us know after Boxing Day.

  4. That was fun! Thanks to everyone who contributed, and big thanks to Flashman for organizing. Happy holidays to all.

  5. Very enjoyable but a couple of answers not parsed which is usually a bad sign. Smooth surfaces and not a clunky clue in sight.

  6. What great clues, good mixture, some simple and some crackers. Merry Christmas to all, and lets pick this up on Boxing Day, with the Secret Blogger. 🧑‍🎄
