On shore with the .puz linked above! (It's called "Now That's A Gift!" and is by Mike Shenk.) Really weird that it's there and not on the WSJ site.

Guess I'll wait for the WSJ; I can't open a .puz file. (Or if I can, I don't know how to do it.)

Finding the puzzle was the hard part :lol:

If you're done and settling in for a long winter's nap, I can recommend this week's Muggle Meta Monday puzzle, which has almost 80 correct entries by now:
