[Game] Anagram Cracker - Christmas Special

[Mi-Amigo]

Welcome everyone to the ANAGRAM CRACKER CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

A game with 30 anagrams - with all of the answers related to a common theme -

                                                               THE FESTIVE SEASON

                                                            THE ANAGRAMS:

HINTS:

some answers have more than one word 

the number of words in the anagram is not necessarily the same number of words in the answer

RULES:

Only one anagram per post.

Please post one anagram and then answer ([anagram] = [answer])

Please wait until someone else has posted before posting again.

The game is open to all members.

Whether you are a new member, a member who has not played in previous word games, or one of the "regulars" who has joined in with Word Hunt Diamond game or wordsearch games, you are all welcome...

I hope you all enjoy the new game... some of the anagrams are easier to solve; some are more difficult.

Thank you for your interest and taking part. Good luck, everyone

As I am off for a siesta and out tonight, I will go for another one (as it took me ages to work out)

the forecast brightens him = The night before Christmas.

@Cleoriff 

the forecast brightens him = The night before Christmas - is correct. Well done. I thought this would be one of the hardest ones to crack 

Thank you for playing. I hope you have a good rest and a good night out.
