So, here's our first crossword. I recommend printing it out and enlarging it if possible, both the puzzle and the clues. If you see two numbers in a box, separated by a dash (-), the first number is across and the second number is down.

The puzzle was started with a simple (free) crossword compiler, but due to its limitations, I did a lot of it freehand in Excel. Next time I'll use a more sophisticated compiler ($$$) so we can get a more professional-looking puzzle.

In any case, I think it's good enough to go up, and no, this is clearly not an article. But it is something that many readers will enjoy.

Mistakes? I hope not, but I'm sure you'll let me know in the comments.

And here are the clues. Might want to print and enlarge these also. Oh, and the answers? You'll have to wait a bit for those. Ho Ho Ho. Enjoy.
