Yes - I found when test-solving that there'll be some ups and downs throughout the 25 days. But I definitely made sure that Christmas Day's grid would be solvable only once that grid is posted.

Having givens was a humorous change of pace from the previous days. I concur with Joshua's comment on grid 10, and add that I have 25 numbers solved in grid 17. Placing grid 25 in the corner where it can't possibly be completed before Christmas Day was a wise decision on your part, though. :)

I love it when we can figure out a few numbers in places apparently unconnected to that day's clues! Like with this clue where I placed two numbers in day 10.
Tomorrow's looks like it's going to be relatively boring that way, since nothing we learn in that corner can propagate past the already-solved puzzle from today.
