I've received some requests for updates, so let me bring you all up to speed. My understanding is that the printers have finished the cards, but they are still "en route" to me for distribution. I hope to see them soon, BUT I have travel plans for the Holidays and may not get them in time to get them all mailed out before I leave. I will do my best, but you all should expect them in early January, most likely.

Are you going visiting? If so, who are you visiting, family, friends or both?

  Hi Guys! The box with the cards just got delivered this morning! We leave soon for the airport, so they will get packaged and mailed on our return. I hope to send them your way in the first week of January. I promise they'll be worth the wait!

Okay Guys,
     The postcards were mailed out yesterday! I have the tracking numbers if anyone doesn't get theirs. One order was missing an address, and I'll reach out to you.

So as some on the forum will remember, I started doing a small Holiday Treat offering over 10 years ago.  Now I can hardly say I was the first as Neil had been doing his wonderful Holiday Camera cards for years and just that year Duznt, John Kolesar, had done a great Halloween postcard giveaway.  My original idea was to thank the forum for keeping the Wacky dream alive and just being such a superb place to hang out.  The first card in 2014 was a Wacky Holidays greeting card.  Then in 2015 it was a 4” by 6” postcard with a single, unnumbered parody gag, Elk on the Shelf.  It wasn’t until 2016 that the HP (holiday parody) numbering scheme began when I invited other gag writers Paul Harris and Mark Parisi to join in.  Well now a decade later Pete and Paul have made it their own and created one of the hugest, greatest Holiday offerings this side of the North Pole!  I have to thank them for keeping me in the loop and asking for my thoughts on their wonderful work.  Well it’s now expanded to a dozen artists and in the larger 5” by 7” postcard format!  Here’s a fun teaser image showing some of the goodness the new set contains. I’m sure this will peak your interest and lead to some fun speculations on which gag is what.  Let me tell you as cool and exciting as these hints are the final postcards are spectacular and will be a fun holiday highlight for all!

Pat, what's the card next to Furball and why is it all ragged like that?

Joe G., I don't think I got this card with my copy of this set. Can you please send it to me?

It's a "title card" for the 2019 set, listing all the artists.  It is supposed to look like curled paper, and there is a snowflake background.

I had a lot of fun yesterday, finding all the various sets and putting them in pages.  I am planning to tackle Neil's Halloween sets next - I believe I will only need 1 type of page for those  :P

Eventually, I hope to also display some of the Holiday Treat toys!!  Hopefully I will be able to assemble a "master set" of those, too!

Pat, well there’s only 2 official Holiday Treat toys ‘Bego’ and ‘My Little Bony’ and I know you have those!  The toys were super fun to nake and I know at least one of the creators now doing the Holiday Treat enjoys ‘em as much as you do.  Perhaps this year we could see the return of some little gift to go with the postcard set.  What does the forum think?  Is there interest in bringing the toy back to the Holiday Treat in 2025?  Please let us know as it will help guide the decision!

Yeah, instead of a dreidel, a dawdle. A top, that when you spin it, does nothing.

and I'm sure that Pete still has these current postcards available,
perhaps even more appealing as the Red Cross is now involved
with the devastating fires in California.

Just received this set today. What a great collection of holiday slanted parodies. Each one a winner. Congrats to Paul Harrris, Pete Zies, et. al. for the great concepts and all the contributing artists for the outstanding work! I usually like to post which are my faves, but I truly cant pick from these.

Being that I am not on the forum much these days I believe I missed the boat on this set. I would like to purchase a set if it is at all possible. If not I totally understand.
Please let me know and I will be happy to PayPal right away.
