Christmas eve means a Christmas puzzle from yours truly. Happy holidays, everybody.

Oh, you don’t have enough BEQ in your life? Well, I just did a interview with Radio Free Bridgeport this past Tuesday, talking about, what else, crosswords and Boston Typewriter Orchestra. You can listen to it here, if you’re so inclined. It starts at the 11 minute mark.

Quick reminder, the year-end drive is still chugging along. Long story short, this site is always going to be free. All I ask is if the crosswords’ve helped you through the, erm, challenging year that was 2020, a small tip goes a long way to keep things running smoothly. Strictly voluntary, too. PayPal or Venmo (@TheBEQ) preferred. Two bonus 21xs are yours to all who can chip in. Thanks again to all who have been able to contribute. If you haven’t got your bonus puzzles yet, let me know. Long form appeal is here.

Looking for more puzzles? The Hub Crossword (Sunday puzzles by me and Emily Cox and Henry Rathvon) and Marching Bands year six have begun. So if that To Do list needs even more puzzles, you know what to do.

Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.

UPDATE: After joking about scrambling up the numbers in the puzzle, I actually did it this time and originally posted the puzzle as “1235,” and not the correct number as “1325.” It’s corrected now.
