I can't see the association with 'dapper', but 'reinvent' is a possible answer. REIN(deer=ad)VENT

[Muffet]

I don't know the rules of the quiz, but could the answer be REINVENT? REIN(deer - ad)VENT

[Muffet]

I tried this before,, but it doesn't seem to have gone. Could it be reinvent? REIN(deer-ad)VENT

[Muffet]

Would reinvent be accepted? REIN(deer-ad)VENT. I can't see any connection with either 'dapper' or Christmas though.

[Muffet]

I keep sending this, but it never appears. I apologise if you eventually get it half a dozen times.
I've suggested reinvent REIN(deer-ad)VENT, but I can't see any connection with either 'dapper' or Christmas.

[Muffet]

REIN(deer--ad)VENT, giving reinvent, is a possibility, but it's not Christmassy, and I can't relate it to 'dapper'.

[Muffet]

?Reinvent? REIN(deer-ad)VENT. Regret not Christmassy and it doesn't seem to fit 'dapper'.

[Muffet]

I keep trying to send this, but it doesn't go. It's not a Christmassy answer, and it doesn't sem to fit 'dapper', but I wondered whether it could be reinvent.
REIN(deer-ad)VENT.
