Today's crossword was a debut for Gene Louise De Vera, so a few lusty "huzzahs" would not be out of place. The grid had some interesting features: we liked the the juxtaposition of 39D, Children's author Asquith, ROS, and 40D, "Hel-l-lp!", SOS. We were pleased to see the presence of 19A, "The Gift of the Magi" writer, OHENRY, and had hoped to also see OHHENRY, the chocolate bar, but we'll settle for a small glass of 48D, Dessert drink made with frozen grapes, ICEWINE.All in all, a fine crossword, and we give it a 5 squares on the JAMCR scale.Besides the crossword, we also have a spot of delightful listener mail, so check it out!Show note imagery: MARA Rooney, in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.We love feedback!

This Sunday on Vintage Classic Radio's "Sunday Night Playhouse," we are thrilled to present a double bill holiday special featuring two cherished radio plays. The evening begins with "Christmas in Connecticut" from NBC Author's Playhouse, originally broadcast on December 21, 1941. Starring Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman, this delightful episode follows a food writer who struggles to live up to her perfect homemaker image when a war hero visits her for a traditional Christmas, leading to a series of humorous misunderstandings and romantic complications. Following that, we'll enjoy "Christmas by Injunction" from CBS Screen Guild Theatre, which originally aired on August 5, 1946. Based on a story by O. Henry, this heartwarming tale is set in the old West and tells the story of a wealthy miner who attempts to orchestrate an elaborate Christmas celebration for his old hometown, only to discover that the true spirit of the season requires more personal sacrifices than he anticipated. Together, these episodes offer a perfect blend of humor, nostalgia, and the timeless joy of the holiday spirit.
316 - Madison Lane and Rosita McMullen were joyously married on Christmas Day, but not everyone was happy about it. Tuck in for this festive O. Henry story complete with (what else?) a surprising twist!
