Buddy - leaves seen at Xmas! (5)
I believe the answer is:
holly
This might be a double definition.
'buddy' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'seen at xmas' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'leaves' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for holly that I've seen before include "Prickly Christmas decoration" , "Yuletide greenery" , "Tree with prickles" , "Ilex is its genus" , "Prickly-leaved shrub" .)
