Is it definitely Christmas for the first word?

[JustinCredible]

Chinajan, these are the letters for the first word ?h?i?t?a?.

elliemay1, I have the r as the last letter for this answer. The clue for it is Sister held up in Cairo travelling by ship that's not obeying maritime law. I have the answer as Corsair. perhaps it's wrong?

[Toorak]

Corsair is correct

[aelmpvw]

corsair looks good

The Queen is a card in a deck?
But don't get the "you'll hear this"
Bobbinwales, could "you'll hear this" be a possible match with "yule" to give the Christmas connection?
