Everything in this grid belongs to the same evening: Rudolph and the other eight by name, the chimney, the candy canes, the crackers, the elves and the mistletoe. Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and Vixen came from a poem written in 1823; Rudolph was invented for a department store catalog in 1939 and only got the song ten years later.

Some of the rest are older than the holiday. Mistletoe and evergreens were midwinter decorations long before they were Christmas ones, and the tree arrived in England and America in the 1840s, once Victoria and Albert were pictured standing next to theirs.

Crackers are the odd one out for American readers. They were invented by a London confectioner in the 1840s, they bang when pulled apart, and they contain a paper crown and a joke that is required to be bad. Outside Britain and the Commonwealth almost nobody uses them.

Print it for the table on Christmas Eve, or play online while the oven is busy.
