[.puz][PDF][Solution] Difficulty: 4.25/5 🎄🎅🏼🎁
We’re more or less frozen in place at my sister’s in Chicago. Parents too! Last night I made a “who called it out of style and not chic ago?” joke, so that’s about where I’m at, emotionally. It’s not the most word play-friendly crowd, but we’re cozy and well-fed, and the blessings are too numerous to count.
This week’s puzzle is a tricky one. Happy holidays and Merry Christmas, friends, from me and mine to you and yours.
Happy solving!
