I never glance ahead at the next day’s puzzle, so when I pulled this one out, I was surprised. It’s not an image that I think I would say I can’t leave the store without it, but when I started working on it, I really liked the variety and activity on the image. There’s so much going on, from the clowns in the carriage to the woman on the balcony and the jester off to the left. There’s a bit of a Mardi Gras feel to it, but also a sense of playing on the Christian origins of Christmas.
Of the four so far, this was really the most fun because it took more than a handful of minutes to complete. The white lines on black and all of the stars in the background presented a little challenge. I’m hoping that there are more like this in the collection.
The image is “Yuletide Parade” by William Steig.
