6. So many questions raised!

Is your husband wearing a car racing harness or are those Big Boy suspenders? (I want!)
And the host - shoes and long socks, a classic fashion statement!

But most importantly - how do you do the unsolvable puzzle?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. I love your questions, and thank you for asking them, my dear Aussie105!

Let's see if I can answer!

My husband is wearing the Big Boy suspenders!

Our host wanted to be comfortable, and he was!

And for the puzzle? I didn't know how to solve it, so it went unsolved! I am terrible at puzzles.

7. Very nice, Peggy.

Thanks for sharing.

19. Thank you, my dear brer cat . . . I'm glad you like them! My pleasure to share, always. ♥ nt

8. Shouldn't that shrimping boat be named "Jenny"?

That puzzle does look like a challenge.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Good question, and thanks for asking it, my dear KS Toronado!

I have no idea why it should be named "Jenny"! Is it traditional?

The puzzle was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay beyond me!

[KS Toronado]

23. It looks like one of Forrest Gump's boats.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. It sure does!

I think the name "Monterey" indicates where they bought this little boat! That's where they were when they saw it.

10. Beautiful party, love the decorations, thanks so much for sharing

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Thank you so much, my dear Walleye!

Our family is famous for their great decorations! It's always a treat to see what they've done this year!

And you know how I am about sharing . . . it's in my blood.

[Diamond_Dog]

11. Thank you for sharing your family with us Peg

Beautiful setting and decorations, too. Who put together that table? Wow!

I’m totally envious of that beach view! we did get up to 60 degrees here yesterday which is practically unheard of for NEOhio for Christmas.

Even your pupper got into the spirit!

Great photos!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Aw, thank you so much, my dear Diamond_Dog . . .

Our hostess decorated the Christmas table. She always does a superlative job!

It was a beautiful day, weather-wise. Couldn't have asked for a lovelier day.

The pup belongs to my daughter and her family! She was very happy to be there and fit right in, as you can see!

Thanks for your kind words.

26. What a lovely festive party, and the weather looks perfect

Was the wooden puzzle truly impossible, or did you just give up too quickly? Puzzles like that always intrigue me.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. Thank you so much, my dear FakeNoose!

It was the best party! We could not have asked for better weather.

I find puzzles generally puzzling! Never been any good at them. I prefer to run away FAST.

[pandr32]

27. It looks wonderful!

A very nice, non-MAGA, Christmas day with sane people. But, that puzzle!

Happy Boxing Day!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. Thank you, my dear pandr32! It was wonderful indeed. non-MAGA, for sure!

All very well educated, intelligent Democrats!

Happy Boxing Day to you too!

32. Great pics. The table decorations are gorgeous! Did you create that masterpiece?

[Skittles]

33. I noticed that too - very creative!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. Thanks so much, my dear MLAA!

Those decorations are indeed wonderful, but no, since this isn't my home, I didn't make them!

[Grumpy Old Guy]
