About this word search
Eggnog, Candy cane and Hot cocoa give this list a distinctly American flavor, next to older words such as Nativity and Manger. Advent comes from the Latin for arrival and covers the four Sundays before Christmas.
In a grid this size, with words running backwards and on the diagonal, double letters help. Look for the GG in Eggnog and the SS at the end of Midnight mass. Christmas tree and Christmas Eve are written as single runs of letters with no space, so read past the point where you expect a gap.
A puzzle like this can sit on the coffee table between Christmas dinner and dessert. Anyone who wanders past can add a word, and by the end of the evening the whole family has had a turn.
