Merry Christmas to all you noders out there!
As a gift, I have turned my home node into a crossword puzzle I made with the help of a professional. (I suggested the feature phrases; he constructed the grid; I clued the answers.)
Since I'll be in Miami for a week or so, this writeup is also the solution to that puzzle. Copy and paste the following tiny text into your favorite word processor or text editor to see the answers:
