Meta Prompt
[Level 1] The answer to the meta is a 6-letter word.
The "Level 1" refers to the meta but, as always, the grid might be a little crunchy in places. Good luck, merry Christmas, and happy holidays!

    Meli Kalikimaka! (Hope I spelled that right, Mikey. I’m not actually in Hawaii. Michigan, rather. But just heard the Andrews Sisters sing it on the Holiday channel.)
    • Bbaack 🤓9:43 · 2022-12-10T19:15:10.165Z
      That was fun! Thanks, and Merry Christmas!

                    Wonderful little holiday in a box! My only issue was that I kept trying to enter Cupid (the reindeer) for 9D Fifth of eight! :)

                              Late start on this. Enjoyed it -- especially your clues. Always love your clues!! I do have a question? Is that Ginger Cat on the tree? How did you get her to stay up there? Merry Christmas, Mikey!
                              • Mikey G constructor · 2022-12-14T14:23:51.655Z
                                That is not her, though it certainly could be! I think she stays up on her own accord. 🤣
                                Merry Christmas!

                                    she is tame, right?

                                      So hang on, you're on Team Ginger? I had you pegged for Team Mary Ann for sure.

                                    What a fun start to the morning! Well done Mike - I've largely avoided metas and cryptics up to this point but this was as great challenge!
