Happy New Year!
I'm going to keep it short but sweet for today because the new year- 2022- has begun and I have much I want to do, but I hope this is a great puzzling year for you, and if you're doing the World Puzzle Days event, I'll discuss it next week!
Enjoy the start of a hopefully wonderful year!

Merry Christmas! What better way to celebrate the actual day than to put up a picture of Mario, Luigi and the rest of the crew as they celebrate the festive season!
This puzzle by The OP Puzzles features everyone's favourite Super Mario characters and is made up of irregularly cut pieces. While this was a little challenging in the plain white areas, it was also a fun puzzle to piece together and I'm glad I was able to find it.
Thanks for following my puzzle blog over the year (or longer if you've gone back through some of the images I've put up!) and I'll see you in the new year.
Stay safe and Merry Christmas!

A case of insomnia has me up and posting this one a bit earlier on a Saturday morning than I would like. But I figured that since I was up, I may as well do it now...
This puzzle design is another by Demelsa Haughton- I absolutely love her work! She has such pretty and whimsical illustrations, and they come across as wonderful puzzle designs.
This Christmas-themed puzzle is no exception. She puts lots of little details into her work, and sometimes you don't see them until you're piecing the puzzle together. The characters are all very cute and I am excited that I got to do yet another of her gorgeous creations.
This is the last weekend before Christmas! Crazy how time flies. I'll have another (final) Christmas puzzle up next week and then we'll see what happens next in regards to design posts. What will the new year bring?!

The second of this year's Christmas puzzles is by Waddington's Of London, who have released this puzzle in Australia through the brand Winning Moves. Deck The Halls is a wonderful nostalgic scene of a Christmas gathering, with the kids helping mum to decorate the tree and the dog begging for Christmas treats from dad.
This is such a classic scene that I couldn't help but order it when I saw it. The design is vibrant and features gold foil on the Christmas tree- giving it that extra sparkle (unfortunately it's not terribly visible in the photo). This puzzle also came with a certificate of authenticity and a collectable golden coin for people who have collected the series over the years.
This was a great and busy puzzle to do and I might look out for more like it in the future.

It's December! As in previous years, I can't believe it's rolled around so quickly. The end of the year always seems to come around sooner than I anticipate!
So that means it's time for Christmas-themed puzzles. I haven't really got a lot, but hopefully I've got enough to complete for the month of December's posts.
I know for a fact that despite all the hundreds of puzzles I have and need to still do, a very very small percentage of them are Christmas-themed. Is that a valid reason to buy more? Speaking of which, how did you go with the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales? I know that I probably should have instigated an internet ban on myself for that weekend but some of the deals were too good to resist. I'm a sucker for a good sale! Especially when there are puzzles involved! Oops- I'll have to exercise more self-control for the next few months (ie years).
Anyway, back to the puzzles...
Today's puzzle features Harry Potter, Christmas and a lovely cross-stitched theme- a puzzle by The OP Puzzles. When I saw this one, I was strangely excited. Ugly sweater excited! This puzzle was different but I enjoyed doing it and is the first of the Christmas puzzles I will be putting up this month. It was the first time I had done a puzzle from this brand too, and I plan on doing others if I come across them
