Holidays Word Search, free printable PDF preview

Nearly every culture that has ever endured a winter has invented a reason to light something and eat together in the middle of it. The specifics differ wildly. The vocabulary barely changes at all: GATHER, FEAST, TRADITION, DECORATE.

Some puzzle books print word find on the cover and others print word search. This holidays grid works for either.

Frequently asked questions

Does the puzzle focus on one particular holiday?

No, the words are the ones almost every celebration has in common, whichever calendar it belongs to.

What is the difference between a tradition and a custom?

A tradition is passed down deliberately, while a custom is simply what everybody happens to do without much thought about why.
