I'm stuck with two top right, crossing this one:

Flee with festive reindeer holding most of a drink (2,1,6)

??,?,R?N???

It looks like DO A RUNNER from the definition, but I don't see the parsing (or the two crossing it). Any suggestions?

2d will cause controversy!
Garment is no good, locate problem (6,4)

The "incorrect" spelling is favoured by Google....

A ru(m) - most of a drink
inside
Donner -

I think donner might be the festive reindeer Chris!

Thanks both - I must resolve to learn the names of those blasted reindeer!

Hello, ChrisE I didn`t know there was another spelling for that garment ! I`m finished all but 3d and 11 ac which are crossing answers. Oh -and 6 d, as well. Any hunts, please? Mags.

Hi mags
I used Google to check. When I entered the "correct" spelling, it said "Did you mean..............." and gave results for the other one.

3d was my LOI. The definition isn't what I thought it was for some time. 11 is an anagram. 6d is a very clever "hidden"

Thanks, Chrise. Just got back home - ready for another go ! Mags.

Hi Mags. If you need an extra clue. Definition of 3d is "shell" but not in the biological sense. Can't add to the other clues really.

Hi ChrisE. Re 2D. It seems I've been misspelling this item all my life! (And that's a long time) I thought it ended EL, but it seems it should be LE. That's a shocker!

Hi Bees
No, it needs to end EL ("correctly") to fit with the crosser - not what Google thinks, though!
