Puzzle Notes
Hi all,
For our final cryptic of the year, we're proud to present a puzzle themed around one of the most iconic (and controversial?) celebrations of the season. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that fantastic cryptic cluing actually is all around.
From our constructor: "I make way too many cryptic crosswords for British and American newspapers, online venues like AVCX, and my own Patreon, Square Chase (
http://patreon.com/squarechase). I'm incredibly grateful that people keep showing up to solve them. It was a pleasure to work with Nate on this seasonal puzzle based around the source of many mutual chuckles. I hope you enjoy it, with my wishes for a peaceful and happy holiday season."
(The editors at AVCX Cryptics would like to affirm that it is impossible for Steve Mossberg to make enough cryptics for our liking, much less too many. We apologize for the error.)
Merry Christmas, to those who celebrate! And to all, an out-of-office message and some time to unwind.
All our best,
- Nate + the AVCX Cryptics crew
