pheww all done now; hoping all other answers are correct?
They all look OK to me.
15 Dasher
18 Seen as Noel (No L = 12th letter of alphabet)
17 Kiss (stand under mistletoe)
Did this earlier for a friend that wants to enter the competition.

1a French hens
3a Carol
4a Scrooge
9a Snowman
10a Red sled
12a Polar star
13a Nicholas
14a Yule

2d December
5d Comet
6d Frost
7d Manger
8d Frankincense
11d Home
15d Dashed
16d Gold
17d Kiss
18d Noel
19d Skates or Skated

I think Skates works better. But it's a bad clue.

Hope this may help.
17. Kiss.
Hello I'm from Belgium, I filled in the crossword, but I can't compete because I don't live in the UK, Scotland or Ireland...:-(

1= FRENCH HENS
3= CAROL
4= SCROOGE
9= SNOWMAN
10= REDSLED
12= NORTH STAR
13= STEPHENS
14= YULE

2= DECEMBER
5= COMET
6= FROST
7= MANGER
8= FRANKINSENCE
11= HOME
15= KEEPER
16= GOLD
17= KISS
18= NOEL
19= SKATES

I wish you all succes! And maybe if you win, remember me and maybe I get a little gift ;-)

greetings,
Ingrid
What is going on here? Why provide most of the answers to a quiz?
19 down bugs me; if you break the clue down and the answer is "Skates", then the rest of the clue following "Bladed footwear" is redundant. If the answer is in the anagram of "...desk at...", then that makes it "Skated". If that is the case, then what does "...the entrance" add to the clue??
I’m not sure 16d is GOLD. The clue is ‘Precious metal OR ...’ so if Gold is the answer wouldn’t that be like saying ‘Thinly sliced and seasoned fried potatoes OR crisps’ ? They’re both the same thing.
17 Kiss
18 Noel ( No 'L')

others look good
Or is Gold
:((((
I won't tell
