Obviously this is just a bit of fun, if the clues are crap or you can't work them out, don't complain. It's all word play of a kind, anagrams, similies, homophones and others may all be represented here. Funnily enough, the answers are kind of related to Christmas.

The prize is a tour of the OcUK Tea room with Gilly*.

1. Carl had no song.

2. Removed due to Gilly's keenness.

3. You'll have heard of this name for Christmas.

4. Light part of music and learning.

5. Precious metal or ----.

6. Miser ordered "Go score".

7. Sinatra at home. Unusual scene for kingly gift.

8. Reindeer sold out to the high street.

9. Spirited Cheek!

10. No soap with the trees.

11. Sounds like the Queen's job, darling.

12. Thieves scram at this time of year.

13. what did it cost king to hang this up?

14. Stole item intended for Christmas decoration.

15. Saint Laura upset at Roman winter festival .

16. Bladed footwear found in desk at entrance.

19. Another Wise Man scrambled up elm next to a confused choir.

21. Yuletide newborn's bed is a garbled German trough.

22. In satin seldom found on a tree.

23. Beneficent monarch sews clean when confused.
