Explanation: Per 1A, YOU is often abbreviated by U. That, and the title, likely means look for the letter that "U" is upon! There are 8 Us in the grid, on the letters in the phrase NICE LIST, the answer to the meta and what I'm putting you on this festive season. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
Nice! haha I saw that cow in the banner pic above and then saw UTTERS in the grid... so my ADHD kicked in for a minute and I got distracted by KID (goat) and YOU = EWE (which wasn't even there)... and then while pursuing a farm animal theme (Why not?) I found all those "horse shoes" (U's) hanging in the grid! Not the expected path, but I got there eventually! Oh my! :D Anyways, thanks for the fun!

Always love your metas, Mikey. Especially when I can solve them. Last week... not so much!
