This one is difficult to write the way it is written on the paper. I have tried to put it as described but it keeps scrambling it. Anyway here goes-
There are 6 names for Santa written in 6 rows downwards.
KRISKRINGLE SINTERKLAAS SAINTNICHOLAS
FATHERCHRISTMAS SANTACLAUS PERENOEL
If you write it down like this it may help
FATHERCHRISTMAS in the 4th row beginning at the top of the page
SAINTNICHOLAS in the 3rd row - the S of St Nick on the left side of the T in FaTherchristmas
KRISKRINGLE in the 1st row - the K of Kris on a line with the A and H of the other two
SINTERKLAAS in the 2nd row - the S ona line with the S in Kris
PERENOEL in the 6th row - the P on a line with the S of Kris, S of Sinter, T of Saint, C of Christmas
SANTACLAUS in the 5th row - the S on a line with the K of Kringle, N of Sinter, I of Nicholas, R of Christmas and R of Pere.
Any help from anyone will be gratefully received. Thanks

I have tried to sort this out but I think your instructions are incorrect - you say the S of Sinter in column (I assume that is what you mean rows down) 2 is on the same line (row ?) as the S in Kris in row 1 - please can you check as I cannot get SANTACLAUS to match to the letters you list. At first I thought you had the N of Sinter and the I of Nicholas transposed, but that still doesnt match with the R of Pere placement -
I'm intrigued to know is wanted

Hi Juleejules,
Starting at column 1
KRISKRINGLE
Column 2
SINTERKLAAS
Column 3
SAINTNICHOLAS
Column 4
FATHER CHRISTMAS
Column 5
SANTACLAUS
Column 6
PERENOEL
There are no spaces in the names so just write them down on a piece of scrap and then try the following:
Start about half way down on your fist column and write KRISKRINGLE. The K of KRISKRINGLE is on a line with the A of St. Nick in the 3rd column and the H of FatherChristmas in the 4th column. THE S of Sinterklaas in the 2nd column follows the S of KriS in the 1st column and then the P of Perenoel in the last column. The last one is the S of Santaclaus is on the same line across as the second R of KRISKRINGLE the N of SINTERKLAAS the second I of SAINTNICHOLAS the secondR of FATHERCHRISTMAS and the R of PERENOEL. Please let me know if you now understand this.

Hi there Legolassie, yes now that you have corrected the placement of Santa Claus, my grid works - though I don't know if I will be of any help, will have a look and see if I can come up with something, I'm assuming the placement of the letters is relevant - are they in a grid or just written down?
It will bug me too now so one of us must solve it! Jules

Am I right in thinking that the word "GROTTO" lines up when these instructions are followed?

Yep you're right again. Brilliant. I think this is your sort of thing lol. Keep trying on the others for me please. Thanks
|

There you go then. Something like "Santa's Grotto" I would imagine. That "bartett" one you have is really bugging me.

Hi squarebear. I have Santas Grotto. Bartett is a toughie. The only thing I can find on the web if I put in Bartett is a Winery. I am having no luck either with GHIREH of Evostick Moan. The Evostick is at the top of the page and Moan is written underneath.

Hi squarebear, Got an answer to CRATCHI what do you think? Bob Cratchit = the T is bobbed off the Cratchit. Vicmarion sent it and I think it sounds OK

Yeah Bob Cratchit sounds good.

Hi squarebear, Got any ideas on the three missing ones yet?
|

If you look carefully at the dingbat, you will see that from the `G' in KRISKRINGLE you can read GROTTO across - which makes it Santa's Grotto
|

I have santas grotto as well. what would you make of the following
NOEL in the centre with a speech bubble coming from the letter N with Ho Ho! in it, to the top left, a speech bubble coming from the letter o with He He in it, to the bottom left, a speech bubble coming from the letter E with Ha Ha! in it, to the top right and a speech bubble coming from the letter L with Hic! in it, to the bottom right. . .bet it is really obvious but I can not get it.

Merry Christmas see I thought that but was told it was too obvious an answer by mates. I think they just like to wind me up as I am not so good at this sort of thing. Glad I am on someone elses wave length your a star thanks Legolassie

Question Author
The author of the dingbats can be very difficult sometimes. On 2 occassions this year I've contacted him because there are a couple of them that can have two obvious answers. He says 'say what you see' but I can still see that (to me) a couple would be right with different answer. At the end of the day its whatever answer he wants, so put the obvious. On number 15 the answer is Christmas Cacti because there is more than one but he says he will accept the answer in the singular. This is not 'say what you see' is it? To me if you put cactus, its wrong.
