Christmas Traditions : The Joys Of Jigsaw Puzzles
This holiday season, if you're looking for a wholesome family activity
, look no no further than a large family jigsaw puzzle.If you haven't already tried this, you can start a new family tradition by ordering one or more Christmas puzzles personalized with your favorite photos. Remember that puzzle assembly is an activity that can be enjoyed by all ages, young and old. Join the many other families who have been doing this for years!
Don't go with a boring holiday scene puzzle though; much better is a personalized photo puzzle. You can also buy photo collage puzzles. Both are great, with the only difference being that a standard photo puzzle is made up of just one of your favorite photos, whereas a photo collage puzzle allows you to include several of your favorite pictures in just one puzzle.
You can use any kind of photos that you want, though group shots of the family are probably best. If you go for a photo collage, you could have it tell the story of past Christmases, or maybe of a family holiday that you once took together.
To create the collage, you have three options. You can do it yourself using a free computer graphics program. You can do it by hand by sticking the photos on to a piece of cardboard and then scanning it. Or, you can take the hassle free option, and just email your photos to a personalized photo puzzle company and let them do the creative work for you.
Once the puzzle maker has your image, they will digitally repair any rips, wrinkles or tears with image editing software. Your image will be printed on high quality puzzle cardboard. The pieces are disassembled and put in a plastic bag which is placed inside a box for easy wrapping and gift giving.
You can decide how big or small you want the puzzle to be. If you plan to get all the family involved in piecing it together, then a large one is really the way to go though. Just think, you could dedicate a corner of your front room to it on Christmas day, and wander across and do a little of it whilst waiting for your Christmas dinner or whilst watching a Christmas movie.
The best part is, after your puzzle is complete, it can be glued together, mounted and displayed. As the years go by, you will have a heartwarming collection of completed Christmas puzzles to remember past holidays and celebrate new ones.
