Hi Creoeso.
A couple of clues ...
16 (assuming 6 letter answer) ... A word meaning 'sounds of explosions' with 's' (for south) in it.
22 (assuming 4 letter answer) ... This answer is hidden in a newspaper item.
24 (assuming 8 letter answer) ... Under the Xmas tree.
To be honest, I'm not sure I have the right answer for no. 22 or for no.16, but (for the no.16 answer) there's usually lots on show at weddings (tee-hee) ;)
Hope this helps, not hinders.
