  • Christmas cryptics

    I love doing the daily Graudian cryptic crossword so thought I'd do a thread for all those who love them.

    "Sounds like there's never a male around when you need one."
    I work very hard so please don't expect me to think as well!

                    The answer is about something that often appears on a Xmas card and a film was made about it as well.
