    Where did you get it? Would love to get it. Where did you get the jigsaw board as well to put the pieces in?

    Another option. Bought this in argos.

    http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/1575572/Trail/searchtext%3EXMAS+JIGSAW.htm

    It's 3 x 1000 piece scenes in 1 box.

    Usually make the ravensberger one but this is better value I think.

    In terms of boards to make it on, this is really good.

    I've had it for a few years now and it's great to be able to close it over and store the jigsaw without it falling apart. I got mine in a local toy shop. I think it's around 40 euro. Pricey but if you make them every year it's not that bad.

    I love jigsaws. I have a stack of them but I never get the time to make them. You'd swear I'm mammy to a load of kids but no. I'm single woman. Slaved into exhaustion. I worked 13 hours Monday, similar hours Tuesday and yestesday and probably will be home at fcuk o clock again tonight. I would love to do a Xmas jigsaw and glue it when it's done and add it as a decoration piece to the sitting room :(

    Just looked through this thread. Danny I've been inspired! I'm gonna go looking for a Christmas jigsaw tomorrow. What a relaxing way to spend some evenings in the lead up to Christmas.

    Just hoping my cat is as helpful as yours.
