Theme:  Straight-forward, as long as you’re doing it on paper!   You just have to do what the “instruction” tells you.  It can be done without the drawing.  Once you get enough crossing answers, you’ll get one of the long downs.   Basically the drawing is something that’s pretty familiar this time of year.   But it’s a word that can be used in many different contexts, and each long down answer is that clue in another totally different context.  One more little hint:  You may begin to think that 14-down is an individual’s name.  It isn’t.

It’s late, my family’s here for Xmas, so I’m skipping the individual clues today.  Sorry.  Maybe I’ll catch up on them later in the week…
