Merry Christmas to all!

Every year I get suckered in to trying sherry.
A truly awful drink.

And delighted that my nephew made it home from hospital in time for Christmas

It's nice to know St John is still doing these.

Merry Christmas.

Got an industrial size box of licorice all-sorts.
Bloody despise licorice.

Pro tip for you all.

Happy Christmas everybody. At 12.30pm I remembered to have my annual thimble of sherry which stops me being teetotaller and which goes to my head very rapidly because it's before lunch. Cheers!

So that's a wrap!

Much better communal solving this year than last year. Many thanks to all who contributed. It's greatly appreciated.

Thanks once again to TSE, Robert and Mike for allowing me to continue this annual tradition. Until next year then.

That's all folks!

Explanations to all the answers can be found on the interactive version of the crossword, accessible via the link TSE has provided in the header. But I'm happy to explain any of the answers so far if anyone wants clarification.

Merry Christmas, and well done for keeping the PB crossword tradition going. 🎄🎅🥂

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone on PB, especially those I've been stroppy to during the year.

Happy Christmas PBers!

Many thanks to St John for the crossword.

Not to brag, but it took me about five minutes to complete this crossword.

When I say complete, I mean upload and publish this crossword.
