Wow, what a fun gift to open Christmas morning! Not to worry though, this will not keep you from your family or your holiday eggnog because it is a holly adorned kitten if ever there was one. I know it is not the tricky MEOW's of the past (or the really inventive ones of the distant past, however Josh is returning in a limited capacity very soon so stay tuned) but consider it my present to you on Christmas Day.
You've laughed at my jokes (often despite your good intentions not to), you've groaned at my puns and you've struggled through my "trying to be WAY to clever" clues, all with great poise and little sniping. To each one of you I say (in the spirit of diversity) Happy Holidays and may your celebrations, whatever they are, include only crosswords and not cross words.
NUDGES:
Nudge 1] I think the main thing I can tell you is DO NOT OVERCOMPLICATE this. If you have seen something and said "Oh that can't be it" you are probably wrong.
Nudge 2] There is no second step, there was in the original but there is not now.
Nudge 3] What do we KNOW Santa always says, it's kind of his catch phrase and the homophone of countless jokes.
Nudge 4] Well this time he says it three times, though you will get credit if you just put it in once.
THE REVEAL:
Nine answers contained the substring HO in them. So, knowing the day and the elderly, chubby gentleman most associated with it, he would say:
HO, HO, HO
HO, HO, HO
HO, HO, HO
But of course I took any combination of 3, 6 or 9 HO's.
Merry Christmas, and if anyone wants a graphic depiction of the solve please go to:
