"Gift List" December 22, 2023

This week's contest is titled GIFT LIST | By Mike Shenk

The answer to this week’s contest crossword is a three-word title.

Gift List spreadsheet


After completing @DrTom 's delightful MEOW meta yesterday, I received a complaint from the Dog Society that we have a meta for cats (look at the pictures on the MEOW topic week in and week out) but we don't have a meta with an acronym for dogs. I told the Dog Society that I would contact the constructors about this serious oversight but in the meantime, I said that there is a Christmas song by dogs but not one by cats so that should help. In case you forgot the song, here it is (and take 1 minute and 44 seconds to go through the whole song)

And for those that have dogs and cats, tell us how they responded to hearing the song.



And if you have not seen The Crossword Rabbit's posting at https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic ... 00#p151000 on punctuation, take time to go see it. Totally relevant to last week's meta

Ashore. Fun one! Happy holidays, all! I'll have an egg nog -- heavy on the brandy, light on the nog.

Ashore!!! Merry Christmas everyone! This was so fun kind of knowing what the meta was and racing to get the grid done!
Now what will I do on my 8 hour drive to Maine to visit the kids????

Stay well all. Thank you for another year of joy, mirth and fun. You are such wonderful people and I so enjoy your company.

Ashore! As we approach '24, it's definitely been another great year of metas! As a corollary to that, you are like family to me, and I'm so thankful for this community. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

On shore. Nice holiday puzzle!

When I saw the mechanism, I was pretty sure we had some solvers in under 10 minutes.
