Happy Christmas!

Posted in Jane Austen's World, tagged Christmas, Hugh Thompson illustration, Jane Austen puzzle on December 25, 2019| 7 Comments »

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.

All is well in our house today. May your day be just as glorious.
