OA.
The less efficient OA here too, feeling ALIOW. And using the SEARCH key I learned from Mark, I see BAPTIZE was used on Feb 18th, confirming my deja vu 🙂
Good memory Steph.
It is a nice feature (the Search, and well, your memory too 🙂 )

Baptize – Exchange
Same
Same same
For me, too. And it raises the question Why on earth does the second word in the official answer contain the unnecessary -ing ending? I don’t get it.
Same streamlined answer and same question about it here, RFW. Odd. And the ever-popular Baptize-tise-tism-tist makes another appearance. Also odd.
I also exchanged EXCHANGING for the more efficient EXCHANGE. I have been baptized in the waters of brevity and efficiency.
Same here; almost gave up, at first couldn’t find even any 3w or 4w answers, then suddenly saw BAPTIZING and BAPTIZE. Entered BAPTIZE EXCHANGE too, also saw EXCHANGING.
BAPTIZE / EXCHANGE here too.
Baptize-Exchange after an embarrassingly long time. The B was such a limiting factor in this puzzle, and despite knowing it had to be a word that started BA-, Baptize eluded me for a ridiculously long time.
BAPTIZE – EXCHANGE for me too

If I may ask, where are you from in the world?
Christmas … I think there’s only one in the USA.
But I spend a lot of time lately at places in the Central time zone.

This one, no chance of me getting it without writing it down and looking at it for awhile … 😎

OA or Baptize Exchange for efficiency.
Quickest solve in some time 🙂
I wonder why OA wasn’t the more efficient answer.
BAPTIZE – EXCHANGE (why the ing?)…
Instead of selling your soul, you just trade it in for a new one. (Wait, isn’t that the actual basic theology behind that tradition?)
OK, could also just mean church shopping.
True, but the Soul Exchange is a better image: (sorting through rack) “Does this one make me look fat?”

BAPTIZE EXCHANGE for me also … interesting that NYT made the OA the longer version.
Anyway, I heard a long time ago that being baptized is a way of showing outwardly something that has already happened inwardly.
BAPTIZE — EXCHANGE
I actually tried ANABAPTIST first, but it wasn’t accepted. That might tick off any Anabaptists out there.
OA. Well, that was quick
BAPTIZE—EXCHANGE

BAPTIZE – EXCHANGE
One hand washes the other.
Never saw EXCHANGE or EXCHANGING. Couldn’t find a 2 today. My solution:
HET TAXICAB BAPTIZING.
TAXICAB is a great use of X so that connections are possible.
baptize – exchange
BAPTIZE-EXCHANGE(ING)
Got it in about 15 minutes.
More efficient exchange here as well.
