Happy Christmas to solvers everywhere!
Not yet full of Christmas spirit but need help nonetheless.
1a Note run by editor but published incorrectly (10)
7a Somehow create a phone message for the Times (5,2,5)

7a is peace on earth. It's an anagram. Merry Christmas!

1, Mi sprint Ed.

Praises are commendations.
