Extra Word Sudoku (Celebration!) Puzzles for 12/24/2025

Gratitude turns chaos into clarity
Every extra "celebration" puzzle this month is a reminder that this year wasn't all chaos. Some of it was endurance, despair, even dread. But some of it was development, too.
The first set of puzzles reflects what I'm grateful for; the second set manifests optimism. You might well find some of these statements trite, or worse, saccharine. I got something out of writing them, and hiding them in these puzzles; if you get even a little enjoyment in discovering them, then I'm OK.
