From Mike Miller's post saying that there was going to be a contest this week, I wasn't sure if it would be online only or run in Thursday's paper. I was hoping for a hard puzzle with potentially fewer people attempting it for a good chance at the mug.

I also solved the puzzle before finishing the grid and I'm sure we're not the only ones. Maybe 2021 will be my year to win a mug.

Merry Christmas!
