Puzzle of the year! Having done NYT puzzles for over 60 years (Margaret Farrar, anyone?), it was fun to go back in time and be stumped in a quadrant, only to come back later and have the answers fall out of the sky. Great job!

Cluing was out of this world - always a good sign to have question marks at the end of clues! Favorites - In the 80s or 90s, say Body shops Felt in the Christmas spirit Novel technology Holders of orbs Consumed with grief Great fun!
