This post finishes the items on Christmas at the Lindstroms. One tradition we have is to work on a puzzle.
The puzzle needs to be difficult in some way or other. This year there were two dimensions to the difficulty. The first degree was color: every piece was a shade of blue.
Second was speed: we needed to put pieces together faster than Pepper could pull them asunder.

What was the puzzle of? Was it some kind of water picture? We too have the tradition of putting together a puzzle. Ours was 1000 pieces, but they were of different colors. It was a scene from Austria.
It was a picture of a small town church on a snowy Christmas night. Alas, Pepper won the race. She grew ever fonder of pouncing on the table and scattering pieces every which way until we gave up and vowed to try again another time.
As my eyes have become "older" I don't appreciate puzzles with small pieces, especially those with too many pieces of like color. I like to be able to take off my glasses and compare pieces to the picture on the box.,... I like the puzzles that Lorraine Carlson's friends are putting together in her home. They have larger pieces that I can see! We aren't putting difficult puzzles together since we have small children again.
Thankfully, cats almost never mess up real puzzles: crossword puzzles.
OOOOOh! That hurts!
