Cozy Christmas Retreat – 500 XL Piece Jigsaw Puzzle (Ravensburger)

The wrapping is finally done, scissors and spare ribbon still out on the table, and the new fireplace has stockings hanging from it for the first time. So this is the reward, and it is painted from exactly where you are sitting: your own feet up in the good woolly socks, a blanket over your knees, a book in one hand and a cocoa going soft with marshmallows in the other.

The cat has claimed the rug by the tree, the dog is under the table, and A Christmas Carol is waiting for when this one is finished. Tree lights and firelight against deep red walls give you warm colour in every direction, and the pieces are a fifth larger than standard, so the small details stay easy to see. Finished size 70 x 50cm.
