About these christmas puzzles

Christmas word searches are a December staple in classrooms, care homes and family kitchens. These four lists cover the familiar scenes — stockings, cookies, snow — and one list on how the holiday is celebrated in different countries.

Not everyone celebrates Christmas, and that is fine: the Winter Wonderland list works as a general winter puzzle, and the rest of the library is evergreen.
