That Janet Hill advent /sigh STUNNING!!! I wound up doing the Reverie advent as my big ticket this year- I put myself on no buy for puzzles this year- but only till advent season!! I LOVE advents!!
Hi Stacy! I *adore* Janet Hill! She is one of my absolute *FAVORITE* puzzle artists! What?! No puzzles 'til Xmas?? There is *NO WAY* I could hold myself to that!! Good on you for doing it! Of course, I *will* try to change your mind with my puzzle reviews! Ha! :0)
@@stacyssassystyles So true. I'm looking at puzzles right now on the Internet and trying to convince myself *NOT* to purchase! Not sure I will win the battle though! :0)
You truly outdid yourself with this amazing and thorough review of so many different Advent calendars ! I especially enjoyed seeing what the puzzle pieces looked like in each calendar. My favorite is your second place choice, the Galison's "Merry & Bright." Thank you for taking the time and effort to share all of these Advent calendars with us in this video.
Hi Maggie! Awww... thank you so much for your kind words! This video took quite a bit longer for me to make than I was anticipating, but I had a blast doing it! Glad you liked the Merry & Bright advent calendar - it's a great one! Thanks for watching! :0)
I truly appreciate the time, money and effort you put into this video. You've just gained another fan! I can't wait to watch more of your videos. I love seeing people truly care about sharing their passions.
Hi Jennie! I appreciate you for your kind words. It was a lot of work doing the video, but it was also a labor of love, cuz I'm a puzzle fanatic! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! :0)
Shannon, Just wanted to let you know that I also got the Michael Storrings 12 days of Christmas for me. I fell in love with the images😊🧩❤️I love all of the 3 calendars.
Hi Laura! So happy to hear you loved the Michael Storrings calendar and the other Galison calendars as well. Stay tuned because my next video is going to be my Holiday Gift Guide that contains my favorite puzzles of the entire year! Thanks for watching and for your comments! :0)
You look so festive and I love how Christmasy your set is. You have gone through a lot of expense and work to present this video. I really enjoyed it and have ordered Merry and Bright through your channel which was my favorite!
Hi Randee! Thank you for noticing my Christmasy outfit and vibe! This video was a *LOT* of work. I couldn't believe how long it took me to put it together! I really appreciate you buying one of the calendars, and the Merry & Bright calendar is super-cute. I'd love to hear what you think about it after you receive it! Keep watching and thanks for your comments! :0)
@@persnicketypuzzler I will definitely let you know what I think. I’m like you in that I like bright, colorful, comic and cheerful puzzles that feel uplifting so I am sure I will like this one. I truly appreciate all your hard work. It was fun to see all of the calendars and pick one out!!
Thanks for the new review! I really love the watercolor artwork in the "Dashing Through the Snow" puzzle, I wish there were more designs in that particular style.
Hi Daddy! I see what you mean about the watercolor artwork in Dashing Through the Snow. You might want to check out the other Lang advent calendars (links in the Description). Not quite as painterly but worth a look. Thanks for watching and commenting! :0)
Hi there! I tried my best to appear as Christmassy as possible. As you can tell, I liked *quite* a few of the calendars! I love Christmas puzzles, but I think I'm done with them for a while! Thanks for your comments! :0)
Loved this video where you have shown us what the puzzle images looked liked and offered up your opinions of the presentation, box quality and images. Keep it up!!
Shannon, You looked stunning with your outfit and earrings. I loved this video; I think it is my favorite. I loved all the Jigsaw Christmas advent calendars. Your music choice was great, your background was great. Very sharp video as usual. I purchased 2 jigsaw Christmas advent calendars to support your channel. So glad this choice is now available 😊🧩❤️
Hi Laura! Awww.... I appreciate all of your kind words! I am really pressed for space in my current house so finding any room to film in is a real struggle - especially since one of the bedrooms is completely full of puzzles! I really worked hard on this video. I've learned a lot since my first videos, and I think I'm getting better at making them. Thanks a bunch for purchasing 2 of the advent calendars. Which ones did you purchase? I would love to hear what you think of them once you put them together. Keep watching and thanks for your comments! :0)
@@Laura_Stanford Awesome!! I want to hear what you think of them! The Lang puzzle was really nicely done. I definitely would have ranked it higher if each little box had a complete puzzle in it and not just part of a larger puzzle. The Wowok surprised me based on the quality. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on them both! :0)
I will let you know on Instagram. I follow you and I will send you a picture and our opinion by private message, I hope that is okay. Unless you want me to post it here on UA-cam. Please let me know :)
@@Laura_Stanford I have no problem with you posting your thoughts here on my UA-cam channel. I have to be honest - I'm not very good at keeping my Instagram channel up to date. Just not enough hours in the day! :0)
wow. had no idea advent calendar puzzles were even a thing. clearly the Lang puzzles are superior. lol. thanks for getting my Xmas spirit going this year.
Great review of these advent puzzles! It’s funny, your least favorite is my favorite as far as image. Night time with the Christmas lights brings me back to my childhood.😊 I do agree though that those types of images are generally not the best for puzzles as they can be extremely frustrating to put together! Keep up the great work on the videos, I look forward to each one!
Hi Kirk! We all have our preferences, and I prefer happy and colorful images. Dark one's kind of bring me down and I find them frustrating as well. If you really like the Pintoo advent calendar the most, I just checked it on Amazon, and it is down to $29.99 (I paid $39.99)! Thanks for the kind words as well. :0)
Hey Shannon! You’re going to have a busy holiday! I got my first jigsaw advent this year as well, but only one! I got the Galison Andy Warhol one, but was really torn between that and the Michael Storrings. I am jealous about the Pintoo! Have fun!
Hi Morgan! I looked at the Andy Warhol one, but I didn't like it as well as the other 3 Galison's I purchased. I wish the Pintoo had brighter images - but to be honest I only put the one puzzle together so I will see how the rest of them turn out. Thanks for your comments! :0)

Hi Ann! Good eye! Unfortunately, that was *NOT* the missing piece! I noticed the piece that you are talking about in the Day 1 box *before* I put it together and I was *still* missing a piece! Luckily it was in the Day 2 box so no worries. Thanks for watching and commenting! :0)
You certainly gave a very comprehensive overview of all those advent calendars. I was amused to find that the Eurographics price kept changing on the subtitles. The first was $4.9, then at 52:57 the price was $409! The image had it as $40.09, quite expensive, in UK money £32.18. Are you giving any of them to friends/relatives or keeping them all?
Hi there! I checked the video for the Eurographics advent calendar prices, and they are all at $40.09, which was the price of the calendar on the day I purchased it. Since then, I'm pretty sure the Eurographics calendar prices on Amazon have fluctuated quite a bit, especially since Black Friday is almost here. I'm keeping the advent calendars, mostly because no one in my family does puzzles (other than my brother-in-law, and he is not into advent calendars). And none of my close friends are puzzlers either. I guess I have enough advent calendars to last me a lifetime!! Thanks for your comments! :0)
I am shocked by your rating of the Pinto advent puzzle. It is amazing and so much fun. It’s not just a regular puzzle in every box. A surprising variety of different kinds of puzzles every day. I won’t ruin the fun for everyone by giving anymore details. I recommend not looking at any pictures or videos of this advent calendar until you do it. It’s amazing how much work went into the development of every puzzle. The price is also amazing. In some cases less than 1/6 the price of some other advent puzzles included in this review. Probably the cheapest of the bunch. Highly recommend it, but not for youngsters or the elderly as some of the puzzles have very small pieces and others are a little tricky.
Hi Gail! I appreciate your comments, and in retrospect, I should have done more than one of the puzzles in the Pintoo advent calendar. I think I was tired from having spent putting the video together, and I just wanted to wrap it up. Thanks for your comments and I appreciate you watching. :0)
