Christmas Puzzle for 2015

Our annual Christmas puzzle is available now.
As in prior years, the reward for solving is a video Christmas card, but you'll need to figure out the password by solving the puzzle first.

Note: If you need some help, the full answer is posted here, but try solving it without help first... it's more fun that way.

Feel free to add a comment below to let us know that you successfully figured it out (without giving away the answer to others). We are always looking for new ideas for next year's Christmas puzzle, so submit those too.

  1. That was a lot of fun - thank you! It looks as if your cat does the same thing that mine does, I recognized the fabric in July as something one of my boys like, and one of my daughters has the same birthday month/year as one of yours. It was nice to "meet" your family! --Margaret G.

  2. Yes, I enjoyed your family's year, Blaine! Your son and my daughter both graduated from college in 2015. It made May extra fun. . .

  8. Blaine, just caught your video. Loved it. I especially loved the half US/half UK cake. Great Christmas tree puzzle too. Almost didn't get the last answer. Nice family you have. Y'all sure did a lot of cool stuff this past year. Certainly an enviable year you have had. Thanks for all you do!

    1. Both of us were celebrating our 50th birthdays this year too, so my wife thought it would be fun to make a cake that was split "50-50" for each of us. Get it?

  11. Late to this party, but I second all the comments above.
    Great annual video calendar, as usual. (I especially enjoyed the thirsty kitties in April.)
    Blaine, you (and Felicia?) are truly masters of media! And, your family seems even more fun that this blog! Thank you for another year of letting us play on your playground.

For NPR puzzle posts, don't post the answer or any hints that could lead to the answer before the deadline (usually Thursday at 3pm ET). If you know the answer, submit it to NPR, but don't give it away here.

You may provide indirect hints to the answer to show you know it, but make sure they don't assist with solving. You can openly discuss your hints and the answer after the deadline. Thank you.
