Writer making one afraid of Christmas? (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
noel coward
'writer' is the definition.
'one afraid of christmas?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'one' is 'noe' which is present in the answer.
'afraid' could be 'coward' (associated in meaning) and 'coward' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'l' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'making' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for noel coward that I've seen before include "dramatist" , "Old playwright" , "He wrote" .)
