The Warmth of Winter - December Edition
As winter settles around us, we are reminded that warmth is not only a matter of season, but of spirit.
In the hush of shorter days, we turn towards the quiet rituals that steady us - soft textures, slow moments, the comfort of beauty made with intention.
"The Warmth of Winter" is a tribute to these small sanctuaries: the glow of candlelight, the memory held in silk, and the gentle luxury of caring for what - and who - matters.
Complete the grid and uncover the hidden word: the wonder of winter. The answer will be revealed in next month's crossword.

- A ghost in flight - velvet wings and moonlight eyes, keeper of secrets above sleeping pines.
- A circle of evergreen eternity, perfumed with memory and adorned for hope.
- She walks where silence reigns, crowned in frost and solitude; winter itself curtsies to her.
- The pause between breaths, sculpted into clarity.
- Across: Where ice learns the language of light, and transparency becomes art. Down: The scent of warmth remembered - mahogany gloss, ember glow, a taste of nostalgia by the fire.
- The still axis of the turning world - where auroras whisper their couture of color.
- Where time dissolves in moonlight, and every impossibility wears silk and truth.
- Where stories and smoke entwine; a quiet stage for flickering gold.
- Wrapped wonder - the language of care, spoken without a word.
- Hooves over starlight, bearing dreams through the breath of the sky.
- The sparkle no diamond can mimic, rising unbidden from the heart's winter.
- Silver laughter in the cold, summoning warmth from distance and dream.
- Ink kissed by longing; a folded promise bound for distance hands.
