And we have 6" snow and more coming down steadily. A great day for a puzzle.

It was a hard puzzle today. I love the old fashioned ornaments.

Are you and Jingles near each other?

I think we are both in Indiana. I'm in the very NE, on the MI line and 8 miles from OH. Everyone in IN is south of me, and most of them are also west LOL! I've forgotten where Jingles is from, but I was thinking pixi is from IN, but maybe thinking wrong. It is 0 windchill here today, colder expected tomorrow.

Wouldn't it be funny to find we are neighbors. A friend of mine spotted my license plate 220 miles away, and messaged his sister to see if she knew who from our county was down there! She happened to have seen my facebook status so she knew. Then 2 weeks later my granddaughter started a casual conversation with a woman up here, and found she goes hunting in that same area. Such a small world, even 220 miles away.

Sorry, I meant a friend of mine's brother in southern IN spotted the license plate.

I agree that it took the longest I have done for a 48 classic. I guess it was because of all the different colors and so small of each color. Merry Christmas.
I found this very difficult! Clearly nearing the end of the year and need a holiday. To all the puzzlers...I wish you all a very Blessed Christmas and a Happy and Safe New Year. I go on leave today till 4 Jan and wont have access as I'll be on the beach ;-). God Bless you all.
Those look like nice ornaments - it they're glass, they must be owned by a family without children. I remember trying to help decorate our tree as a pretty young child, usually breaking 1 or 2 ornaments. Those ornaments were so fragile and not the easiest things for my mom to clean up.
Also back then, if one light bulb was burned out, all of the lights would be out on that string. That was always dad's job.
Usually to keep me and my brother occupied and away from the glass ornaments, we would often string popcorn or cranberries, or make a chain of rings with construction paper and Elmer's Glue.
One of my greatest lessons in parenting happened at Christmas. When decorating the tree the kids used to each load a branch with ornaments until the poor branches touched the floor. At first I got upset that they weren't doing it "right." But my little God-voice said, "No, they are doing their bit to make the tree beautiful and having a wonderful time." So I relaxed and let them sag a few branches. Then we'd all have cocoa.

I remember ornaments like these, too, JamieT. They seem to crumble easily under the weight of their own gaiety.
I thought it was wrapping paper
