Is it the first year without an Araucaria Christmas Crossword? I will miss it. (Although always do Azed and Spectator at Christmas too!)
I don't think anyone else has ever done one. Who do we think or want to fill his shoes this year? Has Paul ever done a double or thematic puzzle?

According to the Guardian it will be by Maskarade and will be in this Saturday's paper (21st).

I only remarked the other day to my partner in crosswords that we'll never again open the paper and say 'Oh Good. It's 'Arry' as we used to do.

Made me sad all over again

Thanks for that. I don't know Maskarade well. Look forward to seeing how he or she does.
