This one is a ten letter anagram containing a four letter word, and the present is seasonal

That helps! Seasonal -> Christmas -> Christmas stocking -> "Stocking Filler" Anagram of "lift closer" with "king" squeezed in
To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self. I wonder what's on television...?

Direct on the left, and it's a British officer...

--Happy Birthday, Lex! Direct on the right (but it could have just as easily been (8) instead of(4,5) with the direct on the left.) "Castles" [is] indeed a very pedantic chess-related indicator (but still flawed because the board is, technically, obstructed...)

Thank you: upon searching the forum, I see that (although I had forgotten ) I actually answered your previous version of this in January this year but that you appear to have been distracted by something else at the time... https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/1265195/Searchpage/1/Main/90526/Words/%2Bbark+%2Brace/Search/true/re-cdm#Post1265195 Here are a pair of rather easier clues which gently tickled me recently 1. Chap stretched as a poet? (10) 2. More lofty by the sound of it, what a shocking poem by 1 (8)

One that caught the pair of us out, and waste a lot of time: A major, say, makes essential authentication (3,9)

I am mighty impressed! We had convinced ourselves that the direct was on the right, and that "key" related to "major" instead of "essential" ===[**CDM**]===

I think that's one that hits either right away or not at all. Fun clue! Have a sampling of flounder goulash (7)
The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

My next hint was going to reference her. Well done, Lex! ===[**CDM**]===
