Each year we try to spice up our Christmas card with something to entertain our friends. We usually offer prizes and, over the years, we've been rewarded with a growing collection of regular solvers. Solutions are traditionally due by Twelfth Night and are accepted by post, e-mail or in person. The winners of this particular year's efforts were rewarded with 'untold' riches - basically an entry in the National Lottery!

What links (in a vaguely Yule-tide manner):

1. King Charles (I or II), Bohemian piety, a littoral hat-trick, small urban development on the West bank, and hedera helix with ilex aquifolium?
2. Steve Coogan, a disgruntled moan, a manual form of sexual harassment, a country in Europe and in Asia, a rude mechanical with a hard centre, and nothing at all?
3. John, Jack and Jim (where one is a pedestrian, one a lion-tamer and the third a spanner) to the Jaworskis?
4. a lifting device, a trans-Atlantic conveyance, a pride of the Great Western, and an unreturnable opening play?
5. Amtrak's finest, an epicurean gathering, the way in, and a more formal way in?
6. long, dapper, and audible pelt?
