“The Christmas Puzzle”

   

Description from puppychick labratbecky: Every year we buy a 2000+ piece puzzle, set up a table and all work on it until it is done. It usually takes a few days unless some of my kids/inlaws get feverish and stay up until 2 a.m. to find that one darn piece.... This is the first year we had Christmas at one of the kids' houses and we decided that whoever hosts gets to keep the puzzle. Daughter Jill already volunteered her house for next year. :)

    Yes to Frida-we haven’t done that yet but it’s been talked about. Another thing we want to get is a YahooEarth closeup from satellite view of a city/neighborhood we know. They make puzzles like that, too. Julie, I learned from the best!
