Christmas Puzzle

I like jigsaw puzzles. They stress some people but it is a great way for for to relax and think. For a number of years I have put together the same Christmas puzzle:

One year I was giving my kids a hard time about not helping on the puzzle. To get more assistance, I suggested that the child who helped the most would inherit the puzzle after my departure. This year Hannah worked hard with me on the puzzle so that it would be done before Sarah came home from college. The competition for "favorite child" is great fun.

I do not know who will "win" the puzzle. However after I am gone, I know this puzzle will bring back many memories. I know it will represent many fun times.

How will you be remembered?


Song of the Day

12 Days of Christmas (with a nod to Toto)
Straight No Chaser

Dedicated to Zach (keep after me)

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me

doo doo do do doot dooooooo
doo doo do do doot dooooooo

On the twelfth day my true love gave to me
12 drummers drumming like olympus above the Serengeti
11 pipers piping,
10 lords a leaping

9 ladies dancing they were dancing for meeee
8 maids a milking they were milking just for me

I had Christmas down in Africa
I had Christmas down in Africa
I had Christmas down in Africa (5 golden rings)
I had Christmas down in Africa (5 golden rings)
I had Christmas down in Africa (5 golden rings)
gonna deck the halls and do the things we never had

doo doo do do doot dooooooo
doo doo do do doot dooooooo
partridge in a big pear tree
