*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
It's been a LONG time since we featured a "normal" killer sudoku on the channel but such is the quality of Riffclown's new puzzle, Christmas Star, we had to do so tonight!
And there's 12 given digits... so it must be easy surely....
Surely not ;)
Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits in a cage must sum to the small clue in the top left corner of the cage. Digits may not repeat within a cage.
