Mini Crypt-mas to All!

Constructor's Note
Hi all, didn't have time for a full cryptic this week, so I made a mini, holiday-themed puzzle instead! Hopefully should be back with a full Sunday Cryptic next week - it'll be my 100th, so I'm hoping to give it a nice theme too

    Very nice! I particularly like the sneaky deletion indicator in 4A.
