Introduction
It seems that the Christmas elves are in a mischievous mood and have been messing around with the publication schedule at the National Post. After several months of not missing a puzzle, suddenly the National Post skipped a couple on Tuesday — catching me asleep at the switch.

I would like to thank Richard for bringing the situation to my attention (even if I was slow to notice his warning).As a result, no review has been prepared for today's puzzle.

I do not have reviews for the puzzles published on Wednesday and Thursday. For me, this was not a good week for the National Post to start monkeying around with the publication schedule as this was my week to blog the Thursday puzzle on Big Dave's Crossword Blog plus having a number of other commitments.

Well, was it Robbie Burns who wrote "The best laid plans of mice and men ..."?
