Oh, and is 56d "frog"
"creature found under a hoof" (4) f?o?
and if it is, why?

Thanks, Chox.
56d frog: a wedge-shaped, horny prominence in the sole of a horse's hoof

19a SAUCE = sauce(r)
20d UNEASY
59a patio ?? - if the O is wrong ?? sounds like 'Patty' + O for 'on'
Question Author
Mmmm, I think you're right about "patio". That would then change 55d.
"gas turbine once revisited" (4) I did have "neon" (within the clue), but if it's "patio", then I would have n?i?

Thanks, Chox.l
that does look like it has to be neon

this is too early for thinking so i'll try to get my brain in gear
salon?
By the way, if you don't already know, the answer to the wordfinder is The Vicar of Dibley.
Question Author
you beat me to it, janbee, with the WF.

The only other answer to 59a I can come up with is "carol", but I don't understand why. And if it is "salon" - what has that got to do with a porch. A salon is a room really.

Hope to speak soon, thanks, Chox.
Maybe carol singers are on the porch outside of your front door so that is where you would hear a carol?

best I can come up with
Hi chokkie, I thought about carol but it made no sense. Patio seems ok but so does neon for the other answer. It's a real confusion this week. I googled parts of a porch and SALON seems to be a kind of room on a porch. Very vague I agree. SO......I can only come up with SAL(girl's name) and ON a porch. As I say, pretty vague but I'm hoping other ABers will come up with a definite answer. In the meantime I've put salon on my copy but it may be wrong.Sorry, not being much help am I?
Question Author
BB - Carol was my initial gut feeling, so I think I'll stick with that one.

Thanks for all your help this morning folks, hope the weather isn't too bad where you all are!

Cheers, Chox.
I think that it must be Carol, from carol singers
on a porch. After all it is a christmas xword.
bit too early to open the curtains to find out
How did you all get this one so early?? I'm still working on 50 which I got yesterday.
59a carol
20d uneasy
I'm stuck on the first two as well! Think 19a could be sauce.
55d is definitely neon, from turbine once
