I'll have a the final egg nog of the season.

(I got this one with the fair amount of thought and time. It's not a bad or unfair one but it didn't really do it for me.... Still the eggnog on the beach is pretty nice. Didn't skimp on the bourbon.)
GUAVA is not an anagram of VAGUE and PEPPER is not a palindrome.

I DID say Happy New Year! It was up for about a half hour before I realized what I had done and edited my response. I trust that I did not ruin it for anyone.

Two weeks in a row with a difficult puzzle to comment on.

Count me on the shore of Waikiki. No cabana boy, but Katsu Midori sushi with chardonnay for dinner very soon.

Don't resist. And be sure to add tomato soup for the full "comfort food" experience!
More importantly, don't forget the HAM.

This wasn't as obvious to us as it seems to be for many but I believe we are ashore 🌴! Hope everyone has a great weekend and for those celebrating... Hope the magi bring you something nice.

Nice one. Needed to reset the brain for a few hours between grid and meta to see it.

Now back to a mid-1980s interactive text adventure (Infocom's "Hollywood Hijinx")....
