I initially read 5A as "Gnome component," and I confidently entered HAT. Oops. Let's get the coffee brewing!

Fun puzzle this morning. I had ateIT at 7D and AREWEdatING at 11D which took a bit of untangling. I used to watch OLIVE the Other Reindeer with my mom around the holidays. What a star-studded cast! I should see if we still have that DVD and watch it with my kiddo this year.
