Ho Ho Ho... That was a jolly good teaser.
Good teaser.
Another good teaser by JAZZ.Keep up the good work.
It is a very good teaser. The second line of the instructions are a little misleading. "...in order to show the holiday. " I went into it looking for other holiday names instead of Christmas related items. But still a good teaser.
I gues I didn't read the directions well enough. I thought I was supposed to find other holidays in the words and wondered why it was so hard!
I never heard of these holidays.
Good teaser.
I agree that the directions were a bit misleading. I was looking for other holidays too...
Interesting teaser. Thanks!
Bad directions--
Once I found "WREATH" I didn't look for holidays any more. Thanks for the fun, JAZZ.
This is a very neat puzzle idea. The instructions were a little confusing.
Verrrry interrrrrresting, but easy.
That's easy for you to say. I didn't think it was easy, in fact I didn't even get one, and I understood the directions. Another
Jszz winner. Thanks for posting.

Clever puzzle, but...
Xmas in April!?!?!!?!?!??!
Xmas in April!?!?!!?!?!??!
I got "sleigh" out of number 3.
I don't understand everyone's confusion. The directions said "relating ot the holiday season," not "holidays." Or have they been corrected since originally posted?

Beckfield, nothing has changed since the original posting. This has been a pain for me, because some people don't read directions properly!
Thanks for your support.
