Hello Strands fans and Merry Christmas! Today’s puzzle has a suitable theme for those who find time to play it, and it is so simple that it shouldn’t distract you from the joys of the day for too long.

When I found ORANGE in the bottom left corner, I immediately realized this was about stocking stuffers, but before I could link the Spangram STOCKING, I went in search of the classic gift for naughty children. Sure enough, I found a lump of COAL on the right side.

The Spangram then split the grid in two, which made cleanup pretty smooth. I found SOCKS in the top right corner, with a SCARF just below them. Then I noticed TOYS in the top left corner and PLUSHIE at the bottom to complete that side of the board.

On the other hand, two more answers could be found. CANDY was spelled backwards from bottom to top, leaving only PENS spelled down to complete the puzzle in time and return to some well-deserved Christmas trash TV.
