The Fire Is Slowly Dying
By teamcrazymatt
I found one of Santa's lists and, as ten of the Across answers
were on it, handed out the prescribed gift, in each case forming
a new word. Unfortunately, Santa caught me and gave me the same
present as I handed out. 1 Down and 21 Down explain what this present
is - and what I gave the dozen Across answers.
