So it has to be a Christmas word with 6 letters starting with M?

[dannyk13]

ellie, I think Christmas relates to the 10 letter word.

[Mamyalynne]

Ah, it's the 'M' you are after - sorry.


Just working on 'If not'

[dannyk13]

// according to tradition, Christmas is not actually over until a day called Candlemas.

[catswhiskas]

Putting the letters in and the word is santa claus, so forget what I wrote earlier, so please, can anybody help with these clues, 5,Scholarly (8) begins with A and 9,If NOT (6) starts with U

[dannyk13]

and // the end of the Christmas celebrations come on February 2nd, 40 days after Christmas, with Candlemas.//
Candlemass is an alternative spelling.
