I mentioned earlier today about looking for garland and not finding it... and how my mood plummeted... okay I had a hissy fit if truth be known :( I did however find a Christmas Puzzle that I kind of ignored while looking for the garland. We have had this particular puzzle for about ten years and each December I bring it out and everyone seems to be drawn to the puzzle even though, we could almost do it with our eyes closed after all this time.
Now, I just have to decided where to set it up. It really should be in a separate room where it is quiet... except with a little Christmas music playing. I still have a few days to get everything ready, so I'm off to find a small table. We tend to toss into the box how long it takes us to finish. I'm curious to see how fast we can put all the pieces together for 2016!
Anyone have Christmas puzzles ready to go?? Do you have a particular number of puzzle pieces that you prefer??

The back issue... there is something that I'm going to have to take into consideration. As for number of pieces... my son bought me a 2000 piece Kinkade Christmas puzzle one year and it took 2 years to finish it. We kept it under the sofa on a piece of cardboard. I think during those 2 years lol... we forgot that it was there until December would roll around.

@Hate2Iron It is nice to have somewhere where they can stay till you get them finished but it's hard to find somewhere sometimes. Under the sofa was a good idea.

It's always there if we want to add a few pieces and if we don't feel like it... we just leave it sitting there! It's kind of soothing to just see it sitting there waiting for us.

I seen some really nice ones online from kmart and walmart. I know you probably want what you had but maybe that's an option. I havent done puzzles in a long time my family and I use to do puzzles and then frame them. It was a nice activity for all of us to do together.

I'm surprised that I want to do the same puzzle too, but it has almost become a joke to bring out the same puzzled year after year.
