13×13 barred grid with 180° symmetry. Four stockings made of dashes surround four sets of squares.
Preamble
Clues to thematic across answers have no definition. Every other clue contains a misprint in the definition; in clue order, the correct letters spell out the first five words of a seasonal verse. The second line of the verse cryptically suggests how the thematic answers (six of one type, two of another) must be entered. Successful solvers should find that their stockings have been filled.
Chambers Dictionary
(2003) is the primary reference.
