There are lots of christmas words but I bet when you think of christmas words you don’t think of many if any Q words. I sure struggled when we played with our kids and the Alphabet game Christmas edition. You know where A is for Apple but in the Christmas version A is for Angel, and B is for bells. Q was one of the hardest. Quail was the go to one for us. It did get me wondering what other words can you use for the letter Q. So I came up with a list of unique christmas words, some of which you won’t find on any other list, that start with the letter Q to increase my Christmas vocabulary.
Quince Pie
Quince Pie is a dessert made from quinces, a fruit closely related to apples and pears. The pie is prepared and cooked like a apple pie.
Quail
These small birds have been served at Christmas time for years. Not a popular as Turkey which is the number one meat for the traditional meal but still an option.
Quaint
Quaint is a great word for christmas time. Think about every image you have ever seen of Santa Claus in his village with the elves and Mrs. Claus. The word quaint is fitting.
Queen
Queen Elizabeth II, gave the Christmas speech for the first time on live Tv in 1957. It’s a wonderful speech that talks about holding onto the old as we embrace the new. Feels fitting even today. You can find it on YouTube if you want to listen to it.
Queen Elizabeth I is said to have decorated the first gingerbread cookies.
Quill
You see the quill a lot in paintings of Santa as he is checking his list twice.
