About this word search

In many families New Year's Eve is the one night children are allowed to stay up late, and the hours between dinner and midnight can feel long. This sheet fills part of that time with words from Sparkler to Calendar.

Words run across, down or diagonally in a fourteen by fourteen grid, and none run backwards. Resolution and Celebrate are long and easy to pick out. Year and New are short, so check every row for them.

Once all twenty are found, each person can pick one word as a theme for the coming year and write it on the first page of next year's calendar.
