Can't solve any of the following given to me by my husband (have solved a few, but they don't interlock, so no help with these):

My rhapsody that little Charlie fibbed over his options (12)
Experiment in High Catholicism (10)
Rattle along, Jules said (4,4)
Still on autopilot, the one thing George cannot do (7)
Model model, model music (6)
Blue rinse set, set in, set on (4)
Less modern take on an old sea dog (7)
Climb the bridge, cross the river Arrow (4,3,2,2)
Sounds like your mobile has been hacked in the hall (8)

Have had a few ideas for the above, submitted them - wrong. Have a few more ideas, but would welcome wiser brains' input.

That's quite a list! Do you have any letters at all for any of them?

No sadly, they're not interlocking, they're just a list, so a nightmare to solve! I hate puzzles like this, but he hasn't noticed that. We've only been married 22 years after all!

Model model, model music?
I am thinking "melody".
Model/anagram of model gives "melod", but I can not see how "Y" is a model?

Apparently, Ford had a model Y produced in 1932.
That would give "melody" or is that too obscure?

Experiment in High Catholicism (10)
How about "Quatermass"?
There was a series on BBC TV yonks ago called " The Quatermass Experiment".
I can not see the parse, though, other than Catholics attend Mass.

Less modern take on an old sea dog (7)

Could this one be PSALTER?

Seamus, I was pondering "silvery" for that one, but can not make a case for it!
They are tricky!

Your title was Christmas present cryptic puzzle. I don't get it!
