The red suit is younger than the man. Saint Nicholas was a fourth century bishop; the BEARD, the BOOTS, and the WORKSHOP at the NORTHPOLE were added by American illustrators in the 1800s, and the plate of COOKIES became a tradition in the 1930s. This word puzzle collects the modern version, ELVES and ROOFTOP and all, with the NAUGHTY and NICE list in the middle.
Frequently asked questions
Is this santa claus word search religious?
No. It sticks to the folklore figure, the sleigh on the ROOFTOP and the SACK of gifts, so it works in public school classrooms.
Why is NORTHPOLE one word?
Grid words cannot hold spaces, so two word names get joined. Kids figure it out fast, and it makes a good nine letter hunt.
