By DMangos
Getting the Christmas Crisis Corrected achievement it a hard thing to unlock which is probably yet the hardest achievement in my
opinion as they are many problematic issues for it. In this guide, you'll be able to understand more explainations and techniques in this achievement.

Requirements
Before we move on, it is important to know the requirements of this achievement otherwise there will be many issues with it. You are required to clean the messes in Santa's Workshop WITHOUT breaking any Christmas Items. This refers to actions such as incinerating them, breaking them and/or destroying them.

NOTE: It does not matter if the Christmas Items are unorganised as long as they are not burned/destroyed and all the necessary items and blood cleaned up.
Christmas Items
Now you might be asking, what kind of christmas items are you referring to? Well, here is a list of items that are required to be kept and not broken.

1. Presents

2. Toy Guns
3. Figurines
4. Candy Canes
5. Christmas/Santa Hat
6. Sag Dolls
7. Ornaments - Those coloured glass balls hanging around.
8. Machete - Long knives found in dead Elfs' corpse or laying around the workshop.
9. Santa's Shotgun
Shotgun hidden at Santa's room next to the stairs.

10. Burned Candles
11. 'Funk Ninja' Radio

These are all the items I've checked that are required to be kept in Santa's Workshop and not broken, incinerated etc.


Clearing Items
This refers to items like junk and body parts. You are required to incinerate these in the fireplace. Also you have to clear blood and burnt marks. Here is a list of items that are required to clear.

1. Bottles of alcohol
2. Broken bottles
3. Body parts (this also refers to the reindeers' horns, iconic nose and its body parts)
4. Organs
5. Water Buckets
6. Disposable bins
7. Shotgun shells
8. TNT/Dynamite

10. Wooden parts of the broken door

Difficulties & Resolving them
Many difficulties are encountered while attempting to do this achievement, which leads to disadvantages and losing your opportunity to get it. I will be going through common diffculties faced and how to resolve them.

TNT Issue
One of the challenging things which the developers added inside the game, TNT. TNT is the enemy of cleaning, it will make the ornaments drop and broken when exploded. It only lights up if attempting to incinerate it. The only way to get rid of it is to incinerate it in the fireplace but I'm not saying there is no choice as there isn't any way to get prevent it from exploding, no. To prevent it from exploding, you simply dispense a water bucket out, put the TNT inside the bucket (try to put it deep inside otherwise there might be a chance where it will not work). The TNT will have the sparkling sound and its effect but the water will extinguish it but it attempts to light up but the water will save it. It does not matter whether it is pure water/blood as long as there is liquid substance inside the bucket. However, there is another issue which refers to the water dispenser. There is a chance where TNT can be disposed out of the water dispenser, in other words you'll have to react fast. You can either find a bucket of water/blood nearby you or dispense one out from the other side (but this method will have a very high risk).
This is an example of how you should put TNT inside the bucket of water/blood.

Ornaments Issue
Ornaments, probably one of the most cautious challenge to get this achievment. They are found hanging around on the ceiling and around the walls. They will have a high chance of being broken when in contact with any object or your mop. Common mistakes are refering to the disposal bin, some/most people put too many junk/body parts inside that it causes some serious glitching which interferes the ornaments, causing it to break. I suggest you to not put things such as elf corpses as they occupy almost 1/2 of the entire disposal bin and of course there are other items besides that. It is recommended to just put small things like shotgun shells, organs, arms etc. as they occupy around 1/10 - 1/100 space which has a better advantage to carry it. DO NOT SPRINT when carrying the bin with items in it, hold the shift button while pressing the WASD buttons.

Unreachable/Stucked Items
Some items can go through the gaps from a table which sometimes can be hard to grab it. Also some items can be under the map which is impossible if you do attempt to do it legit. To solve this problem, press the TAB or tilda key (~) to open the console. Type enablecheats in the console and then type the command ghost. This acts like a noclip command whereby you can go through walls, floors, ceilings etc. Go through under the table or any place where the objects are stucked and attempt to pull it out. Another problem is items under the map, you can spot them glowing in the black background and to get rid of them you can't simply just pull them out. You have to use your mop and repeatedly push it in a single direction. Once the item is far away from the borders of the workshop/map it will eventually/slowly disappear. For precautionary measures, use your Sniffer and check to see if the items are gone under the map and of course look around as they might be some hidden around under the map.





Reminder
Saving the Game will be an advantage. Always save your game for around every 30 - 60 seconds due to possible issues like ornaments are broken or TNT exploded etc. This is for a safety precaution just in case you do not have to restart the cleaning all over again and there will be a time where you will break something unless your cautious enough.
End of Game
This is very important in order to get this achievement. After you've "assumed" that you've cleaned everything up, use the Sniffer. I'll put up a link here if you do not know what it is http://cs2bus.com/app/265210/discussions/0/558752451186811541/. Anyways check every single spot/area for either hidden blood or objects that you are required to clear it. Purpose of this is for safety and precautions as there might be blood/objects hidden.

End of Guide
I hope anyone who finds this really helpful would like to give a thumbs up for the rating and comment if you have any more questions to ask. Thank you for your kind attention!
Thank you for you guys' support! :)
I know this is too late to say this but this was my very first guide ever on Steam. It really brought me into the community more as I made this guide. Even though some parts of the guides are incorrect (some items weren't required to be incinerated), it really shows that you guys are supporting this guide by taking part in helping each other in the community. :) For those who found this guide helpful, your welcome. I might try to answer as many questions as I can if possible.

I think I might have heard an ornament shatter when my bin went psycho, but other than that I don't think I destroyed many Christmas items. I destroyed all the letters and kept Rudolph's nose and lanterns.

No idea why the info on this achievement is so inconsistent in some places, but the sniffer generally shouldn't lead you astray. Use the sniffer if you have doubts people!

Machetes and Santa's shotgun are Christmas items, but shotgun shells are not? Weird.

Nice guide,but you don't need to get rud of TNT or dinaminte to get the achievement and you dont need to keep machetes.Non-Christmas items it seems.Got the achievement without them.

ok so i broke two ornaments and still got the achievement (one when taking the elf off the balcony and one cleaning up after said elf) so don't be too scared but still be very careful and take you're time doing this achievment and you should be good to go (:

As previously stated, knives can be burned without preventing the achievement to unlock, and burning them counts toward level completion.

It's actually better to detonate all the TNT in the entryway (Reindeer Stalls if you're playing the base game version), remove the ornaments from the hallway and put the TNT at the far end, one-by-one, so TNT doesn't get launched before it actually explodes

Couldn't you just get rid of the TNT/Dynamite by putting it in your Janitor's Chest and taking them back to your office with you?
