Happy Christmas!

December 25, 2019 by Vic

Christmas day for many of us means family get-togethers, feasting, drinking eggnog and spiced mulled wine or apple cider, and playing games. We love to puzzle. This lovely book style 500 piece jigsaw puzzle with illustrations by Hugh Thompson presents the perfect relaxed way for us to spend time together. The ladies puzzle near the fire while the men watch football and children play with their new toys.

I enjoyed that puzzle as well, a few years ago! Then I passed it along to a Janeite friend. Merry Christmas!
