New Festive Words We Quite Like

Well, it goes without saying that we all very much love to come across the odd and unusual Christmas word that we haven’t heard before, which we then like to drop into casual conversation to add a little frizzante to our festive vocabulary ……..

Take for example, the need to “scurryfunge” or hastily tidy The Towers before unexpected visitors arrive. As part of a rigid three household bubble, there won’t be any random guests crossing our portal this year, leaving, sadly, any manic “scurryfunging” until Christmas 2021 perhaps.

Then there is “yule-hole”, the last hole on your belt you can stretch to after eating Christmas dinner! Let’s just say there will be three yule-holes stretched to capacity, if you’ll pardon the expression, on the big day after Darrell’s much anticipated Christmas lunch.

It would be nice to then think that we could then avail ourselves of jolly good “crump” after said meal, but as a white Christmas isn’t forecast I doubt we will be in luck, but I have to say there’s nothing more satisfying than hearing the crunching sound or crumping as you walk across frozen snow, another pleasure, for another time I suspect.

And  finally, just for today, a couple of seasonal puzzles for you to solve ……

…….. since we are in a festively, frivolous frame of mind ……….

……. what are we like?
