Handyman who speaks at Christmas time? (9)
I believe the answer is:
decorator
'handyman' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'speaks at christmas time?' is the wordplay.
'speaks' becomes 'orator' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'christmas time?' becomes 'dec' (short for Dec).
'orator' after 'dec' is 'DECORATOR'.
'who' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for decorator that I've seen before include "Worker embellishing a property" , "Who paints" , "Handyman" , "House painter" , "Artisan" .)
