Cryptic crossword No 889

Spoilery question in Reply

I completed this eventually, and minor typo notwithstanding (there but for the grace of god go I and all that) I thoroughly enjoyed it! I very much liked 14a, 26a, 27a, 2d and 17d. Cheers and Merry Christmas! 🎅🏻

Thanks for the puzzle Owlbazaar, and found the nina more amusing this way 😁 I particularly liked 13a (neat), 14a (fun), 16a (clean and chriatmassy all round), 7d (clean), 18d (cool idea) and 25d (neat). Merry Christmas!
