Solved- submitted. Make mine a Great Lakes Christmas Ale and Madtree Thundersnow!!!
If I don't win a mug, I can always make one... ;) but it won't have the same cachet.

Ashore--and I would have been quicker if the timer for these wasn't going off at puzzle time!

After a few weeks of solving, I was fearful that my luck would be going SOUTH, but that ended up not being a concERN. This fun meta is indeed a GIft--ANd so is this lovely muggle community. I so enjoy the camaraderie and the ouTPouring of good will, witty remarks, funny pictures, memes, puns, and poETRy. I say wELl done to you all--and thank you!

I'll have a cuppa tea with some of my Christmas cookies.

Methinks we can cancel Isaac's Last Call on Sunday.
