With my work commitments finished and endless rain and it getting dark at 3.30pm I’ve been enjoying working on a jigsaw. Growing up we always had a jigsaw on the table over Christmas for everyone to add to. We still generally complete a jigsaw together at sometime over the festive break Finishing this jigsaw last night I was thinking about jigsaws and Christmas and thought of one of my favourite relaxed photos from Christmas 2007.
In 2007 I was living in New Zealand and rented a holiday beach house with some friends for Christmas week. This is us doing a jigsaw under the sunshade in the front garden looking out over the water – the blue strip you can see above the fence. We did several jigsaws as a relaxed, communal activity in the shade.
Are jigsaws part of your Christmas traditions? as a way to enjoy the shade or the dark evenings?

Yes! My husband asks for a jigsaw every Christmas and I have one wrapped and ready for him. We used to go camping a lot, but we never took any jigsaws with us :)
We love putting together puzzles, too, especially at Christmastime. We are on our third Christmas themed puzzle right now - we pull out the Christmas themed ones the day after Thanksgiving.
I intended getting one out and started today, but life got in the way...hopefully tomorrow!

Thanks for this idea! We do it sometimes, and this is a perfect year for it. Off to clean up the kitchen breakfast area table and spread out a puzzle.

We do on Christmas Eve & Christmas day. This is the first year the boys have been able to do more than a 100 piece one
Yes, we have a jigsaw puzzle to work on over the holidays, although it seems to be more of my husband's thing than mine....
I love jigsaws - but I'm quite possessive of them, I find it hard to let anyone help me!!
