Christmas criss-cross

Fourteen Christmas words crossed into one grid, from BELL and SLED up to GINGERBREAD and FIREPLACE. The clues are written for a classroom and not for a newspaper — CAROL is «a song sung door to door during the holiday season» — and there are no black squares: the shape is whatever the words make when they interlock.
