Has the silly season started?
I think it might have especially as I recently found a Christmas-themed word for every letter of the alphabet.
But before I share my A-Z of Christmas, I wish you happy holidays. After such a year, such an 18 months and more, we deserve it. Pour yourself a favourite drink, sit back, relax and dream about a Christmas in letters.
To begin, A is for Advent.
A Christmas in letters
A is for Advent
B is for birth
C is for carols or chimney
D: December 25, of course
E is for elves, very helpful
F: frankincense, fruitcake, Father Christmas, family, festive, Frosty the Snowman (now, I’m showing off!)
G is for Gingerbread
H: happy, holidays
I is for inn (where the story first began)
J is for Jolly
K: Kris Kringle (someone always forgets to buy one)
L: lights, lords a leaping
M is for mistletoe
N: North Pole (Santa’s address)
O is for ornaments
P: pinecone, presents
Q: quince pie
R: Reindeer, Rudolph, of course
S: Scrooge, St Nicks, stocking, sled, snowman, sleigh, season’s greetings (more showing off!)
T: tinsel, tradition, tidings, tree, trimmings, turkey (it gets easier the further you go along the alphabet)
U: under the tree (that’s where the presents go)
V: Vixen
W: Workshop (Santa’s), wrapping paper, wreath, wise men
X is for Xmas
Y: yuletide
Z is for zzzz (even I think this is a stretch but the Scrabble dictionary identifies zzz as ‘an informal word for sleep’ and it comes so easily Christmas night)
And a final thought,
Happy tidings and to all, a good night.
