Actually, fairly mild stuff from the octogenarian enfant terrible today - two of his trademark multi-word linked entries, and only a handful of clues to wind up the purists. But I’m not sure I like reviewing Araucaria - his clues are often better enjoyed without deconstruction.

The quickest of the week so far for me. A couple of excellent cryptic definitions (12dn/13dn). No theme that I can see, but then I usually can’t.

Lots of traditional Christmas references which forced some of the other words to be a little less familiar, I guess, but Quixote gave accessible clues for them. Reminded me of when I first began to tackle crosswords – at Christmastime, and, just like this, they had that seasonal feel.
