“Putting a puzzle together”?
obvious
I call it “puzzling” —
Puzzling, verb. The act of putting together a puzzle.
For years it has been tradition for our family to puzzle during the Christmas season. Last year we didn’t for some reason, and I missed it. For us, there is a bit of competition involved too. (Note Danae in above photo) There’s the unspoken “race” to get the most pieces together at each “sitting”.
There’s just something about sitting ’round a table together and puzzling. It is also hard to resist. If you give up your seat, it WILL be taken.

Sometimes the hours pass, and you stay up way too late puzzling…but seeing “sections” come together is very satisfying.
I’ll keep you posted on the progress!
