Wow this must have been a tough one. Don't give up! Remember this is not a famous phrase, its a Christmas message for me.

If I don't receive any correct answers then I will post the questions complete with answers so you can try to arrange the letters in the correct order.

Is that a Christmas message 'for me'  or 'from me'

It's no good try as I might I can't make the 18 letters I've got, I missed a few days clues, fit the hangman grid. Good luck the rest of you and I hope you all have a "Wizard" Xmas.

Half the clues didn't make sense to me and the rest (bar one) are consonants - I fail to see how anything coherent can be pulled out from what I've got.
