A Christmas scavenger hunt can be a

wonderful holiday tradition. It’s one that
my family has enjoyed for decades – each
Christmas eve there’s a hunt to find one
present that we’re allowed to open. I’ve
carried on the tradition for my daughter
and for seven years I have crafted clues of
rhyming couplets (more or less).

I’ve compiled all 70 holiday scavenger hunt

clues below.
