Xmas Word Search - 2023

[Dave-O2]

Hey folks 

The next instalment in the 2023 Community Xmas activity is the Xmas Word Search ✏️🔍

In the below grid, I've hidden 39 words associated with Xmas - can you find them all? I will update the thread with the discovered words and updated grid as much as i can 👍

The rule: so that everyone has a chance to participate, please guess only 1 word per post and also please wait until someone else has guessed after you before you guess again. If 10 minutes pass with no other responses, you're free to go again! Thanks guys, and enjoy! 😊

I hope you have fun

@Dave-O2 

Sorry you had problems at the start and game was delayed for over an hour.

As I missed the restart, with words already given, and unfortunately the alphabet letters at the top of the rid are out of synch, I shan`t be able to join in, which is a real shame as I do enjoy word search.

Never mind, there is my fav - word scramble to look forward to

Good luck to all those who are playing.

I really cannot see any of the words that have not yet been found. Will revisit the matrix a little later on.

Ah @Dave-O2, many apologies, it has been a working day for me and I did not realise that you had to play from the start. I believed that you could join in at any point.  

EDIT : Having seen the post from @Dave-O2 at 17.20, I am now totally confused as to whether I can join in at this stage or not !

MERRY upwards from B19
