Cryptic crossword No 900

Merry Christmas everyone!

Very nice grid! Some complexities in there but only a couple I had issues with (in reply). Particularly fond of 4d, 15d, 23d.

I wondered if someone would have the nerve to post on the Day itself - so well done you. And a fun romp to reward us with - even if it took til Boxing Day to look at it. Favourites include 9a, 10a, 13a, 21a, 27a, 7d, 15d, 17d and 22d. Spoilers in Reply. Thanks. PM

Lovely stuff plumbwizard, bested in a few spots but all good fun! Nothing more to add that's already been said other than I particularly enjoyed 9a (neat and smooth), 13a (nice surface), 19a (likewise), 21a (neat), 28a (cute def), 4d (neat), 7d (smooth), 17d (very clean), 21d (very neat) and 22d (likesise) - thanks and Happy New Year!

Belatedly got round to this and enjoyed it a lot. Thanks and Merry Christmas 🎅🏻
