Special commendations go to Marvin and Piotr, who have been on the prizelist for each of our seven years of Christmas puzzles: a bizarre and wonderful achievement ...

Many thanks to everyone who took part in this year's puzzles, specially those who were kind enough to comment on the enjoyment they'd got from the whole procedure. Commiserations to the many entrants who submitted correct answers, but whose names lingered too long in the Homburg. And further commiserations to those who submitted 'differently correct' incorrect answers ... but the instructions were pretty explicit! The solution, by the way, is here.
