About this word search
Plenty of Christmas traditions arrived in Australia from the northern hemisphere and never quite adjusted to the heat. Mistletoe, Chimney and Sleigh share this list with Mango, Prawns and Barbecue, and a family can spend a while sorting the words into a cold Christmas and a warm one. Carols by Candlelight, sung outdoors on December evenings, belongs firmly in the second group.
With lines running every which way, backwards too, the short words turn out to be the hard ones on this sheet. Carol, Choir and Advent hide easily among the long entries. Find Midnight mass and Beach cricket first, since they are long lines of letters without a space, then let the short words fill in the gaps.
It works as a quiet job for the older cousins while the pavlova cools in the oven.
