About this word search
The Christmas cracker is a London invention. A confectioner called Tom Smith began selling sweets wrapped in paper with a motto in the 1840s, and the snap and the paper crown were added over the following decades. Here it shares a grid with Mistletoe, Eggnog and Midnight mass, a fair spread of the season from Advent to the dinner table.
Words run in every direction, backwards included, and several are two-word phrases written without a gap. Start with the longest, Christmas tree and Midnight mass, because they cross a large part of the grid. Carol and Choir are short and easy to overlook.
If there are several people at the table after dinner, print one sheet each and see who finds the three nativity words first: Nativity, Manger and Shepherd.
