Just home.
I addition to the early birds, nice to see Jazzy (the highest point of the year for me, getting Jazzy excited :-)). Wow!), Ari (the leaf!! puff. puff! lol). Chrisg, Chrise, Mary6, Rambler (towers of the sleigh), Trevor (ah yes! I remember it well) and SLH (nice for this time of year).
Well done all. I've enjoyed the year immensely and delighted to hear you all have as well

I wish each and every one of you and those dear to you a Joyous Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year

Off to have din-din now

Bless

Whoops! Forgot to post my working.

Startled at the number of hits today. Lovely!

1. anag (discomfited) of ‘sees leftie dad’ = ADESTE FIDELES = Christmas invitation (= O come all ye faithful ...)
2. smacking = kissing; ‘me’ about anag(scruffy) of ‘toilets’ = MISTLETOE = (?) parasite held over for ‘kissing’.
3. carrying = stocking; bear = suffer; about time = stuffer; STOCKING STUFFER (N. American term for stocking filler) = an additional small gift (one to fill a Christmas stocking).
4. (leaders = S + L + E + I + G together with H = SLEIGH = means of transport
5. conscientious objector = CO; got together = MET; with = AND; copper = CU; pickpocket = dip and ‘returning’ = PID; yielding COMET AND CUPID [cryptically (?) two towers of Santa’s sleigh – the question mark also covers the capital letters,(I trust) ho, ho, ho!]
Bonus.

Thank you Jolan for all of your efforts this year....so pleased that this turned out to be a Christmas bumper edition with so many taking part. Have a great Yuletide and look forward to your efforts next year.
