Top Ten: A Randy Wollenmann Christmas!

If you’re like me, you’re hip deep in horror movies and pumpkin spice lattes right about now.

You can check out my post on the top fall and Halloween puzzles here.

However, it’s NEVER too early to think about Christmas puzzles. In fact, one of my favorite times to do them, besides December of course, is in the summer. So in a way, this post is late. 

Browsing the new puzzles recently, I saw a bunch of fantastic Christmas puzzles by Randy Wollenmann. There are so many that I decided we needed a top ten (really almost twenty) post just about Randy’s Christmas puzzles. Believe it or not, there are even more than the ones on this list, but these are my favorites.  Counting down to my number one pick…
