A Christmas scavenger hunt is a tradition my dad began when I was a child and it’s one I’ve continued for my daughter and shared on the blog. Find all the past printable clues here<\/a>. All the clues are intended to take you to a different location around the house. We realize that not all houses have all these spaces, but we’ve tried to make them as universal as possible. If you don’t have a location, just take that clue out. Feel free to mix and match clues from different years, \u00a0or give each kid their own hunt.<\/p>\n
