Christmas for Japanese drama student (4)
I believe the answer is:
noel
'christmas' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'japanese drama student' is the wordplay.
'japanese drama' becomes 'noe' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'student' becomes 'l' (as in L-plates for learner drivers).
'noe'+'l'='NOEL'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for noel that I've seen before include "Xmas refrain" , "Coward - Christmas" , "See 7 Across" , "Christmas time" , "Christmastime" .)
