Alphabet Game - SANTA

[Cassel]

 

In November, our monthly theme is SANTA.

 

Let’s play our monthly alphabet game.

 

Based on the alphabet, can you think of words associated with Santa, Christmas and holiday time? It could be related to activities, food, decorations, presents, etc.

 

Let's go!

 

Because I want more people to jump in the game, I will ask to NOT post two consecutive answers (unless there is a 24 hour period without answer since it could mean we are stuck)

 

(remember: only ONE answer per letter, to give us more options for seconds if we get to that point)

I have never like this word but this is what I found online today:

 

X represents the Greek letter chi, the initial letter in the word Χριστός (Chrīstos). And what does Χριστός mean? “(Jesus) Christ.” X has been an acceptable representation of the word Christ for hundreds of years.
