Is it me, or is this even harder than usual?

Any help with 4d, 18d, 39a, and 49a would be much appreciated.

Many thanks and happy Christmas to all.

Also found it harder than usual! Don't have it in front of me, but am stuck in the top left corner with the answer A_S_ _, and the one beginning with S that crosses with the end of it.......Did you finish the Xmas Cyclops, K ?

[kayakamina]

Not sure which one you mean but
1a Squash Court
3d Soaks
16a Grass Tree

If you need anything else just come back. Finished the Cyclops thanks.
Regards K
