Explanation:

This is a word - search puzzle related to Christmas - themed vocabulary. The task is to find and circle the given words in the grid. For example, words like "Reindeer", "Noel", "Wish", "Bough" are already circled. To solve it, one needs to scan the grid horizontally, vertically, and diagonally (including backwards) to match the letters of the target words from the list.

Answer:

The answer depends on the specific word - search task. If we consider the completed parts, the circled words are "Reindeer", "Noel", "Wish", "Bough" (and others as per the puzzle's completion). If we were to find a specific word, for example, if we want to find "Gift", we would look for the sequence of letters G - I - F - T in the grid (it can be found in the row with "N U X G I F T W R I B B O N A S E D C L R H Y").
