Pre-Answer:  Three Words  (6-letters)  (3-letters)  (8-letters)

This Jumble did present us with a new clue word, in “spigot”.  Hopefully, our friend ralis95 will be entering it into his world famous clue word database.  The jumbles all appeared to be new, but none of them stumped me.  The answer letter layout was a super duper seventeen letter jumble.  Nothing about it was obvious to me.

The cartoon is a great holiday scene, complete with a Christmas tree, a wreath, and a couple of really great ugly Christmas sweaters.  I hope they weren’t given to the ladies by Gonzo from the Muppets!  The ladies are arguing over turkey, or ham, but for Christmas I prefer prime rib!  Yum!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
