About this word search
In French Canada the big Christmas meal has traditionally come after Midnight mass, a late feast known as the réveillon. Many English Canadian families keep crackers on the table, a habit brought over from Britain, along with eggnog in the fridge and a Candy cane on every second branch.
The grid is eighteen squares wide and hides words in every direction, including backwards. Christmas tree and Christmas Eve begin with the same nine letters, so spotting CHRISTMAS once is not the end of the job: follow each copy to see which ending it has. Eggnog, with its double g, and Mistletoe, with its cluster of consonants, give the eye something firm to catch.
Keep a printed copy for the quiet hour after dinner when the dishes are done and nobody wants to move.
