Neveracrossword, I meant the last day of the year! Could you give a few answers with parsing then to set me on the right path? Thanks!

NACW, all letters wrong for 37A, but I felt good about 38D for which I got TAKIN.
38D Catch gold antelope (5): TAKIN
38 D Takin is not correct. The first three letters are three of a four letter word for 'catch' and one of the usual 'gold's is at the end of the word.
Chalicea is understandably well-liked by many ABers and pops in from time to time. This is a very well-crafted, fun puzzle and I'm sure you'll appreciate it. The closing date isn't until 8th February.
21a SHAME ? if you've got wrong pattern and letter count???
or ASHAME if thats a word
Yes, Bobbin, Ashame it is!
Question Author
Many thanks for 21A,NACW and bobbinwales! The parsing is clear!
