What words do you want to celebrate today?
Hi Kathy,
A mixed response from me this time …
I had no idea about a ‘kinara’.
I knew the true meaning of ‘nativity’.
I have come across ‘dreidel’ before but didn’t really know what it was, as I have only ever heard it sung in a song about Hanukkah, by the Christmas choir in the US pavilion in Epcot, Florida!
Nice festive selection and I wish you and yours Seasons Greetings 🙂

Fun words today. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Wonderful holiday words. And don’t forget one of my favorites: Jólabókaflóð. I did a post about this one in 2018.
Hi Deb,
I love the notion of a ‘Christmas Book Flood’, what a lovely word 🙂
Checking out some of the great online book deals this Christmas period, I might yet end up with a book flood all of my own … I really must resist, but it is so hard!!
Enjoy the rest of your Christmas celebrations 🙂
