Tinsel was first made in Germany in the early 1600s from thin strips of real silver, which tarnished quickly in candlelight. This grid hangs the rest of the season around it: the WREATH on the door, a STOCKING by the CHIMNEY, MISTLETOE overhead and a SLEIGH pulled by REINDEER. Words run in all eight directions, diagonals included.
Call it a christmas word find if that is the phrase you grew up with. The grid does not mind and the answer key still fits on one page.
Want the same words as a different puzzle? Try the christmas word scramble, where you unscramble each word from a clue instead of finding it in the grid.
Frequently asked questions
Is a reindeer an actual animal or just a holiday myth?
They are entirely real animals that live in freezing northern climates all year long, though some people refer to wild herds as caribou.
Why do we hang a stocking by the chimney?
The tradition comes from an old legend about a kindly man tossing gold coins down a flue, which landed in everyday socks drying by the fire.
Is there a harder Christmas word search?
Want a harder one? The hard Christmas word search has 35 words, including frankincense and poinsettia, in a 20x20 grid that runs in all eight directions.
