That was super fun. A true gift for Muggledom. There better be a lot of Eggnog on the beach--there will be a crowd!!!

Have a wonderful holiday, all. And thanks, as always to the team who makes this all hum.

Ashore. For another Christmasy meta complete with verse and only slightly more difficult than today's, check out Cap'n Rick's SSS from last week.
