Each day has an envelope which features a misinterpretation of one of the twelve days of Christmas.
Light patterns start at the stamp (top right) and proceed clockwise. When reading the patterns, R = red, G = green, B = blue, and Y = yellow. The assumption of four light colors is made here. (Feel free to add the five-light patterns if you have them.)
Day 1: Conspicuous Consumption[]
- A leafless pear tree with a (presumably partridge's) nest in it. This might refer back to 2012 Holiday pack, which could've purchased "341 partridges in 341 pear trees ."

Day 4: Clusterfuck![]
- Four "collie birds," a misinterpretation of "colly birds" from the song. "Colly birds" are a type of blackbird, genus turdus merula, hence the poop.

Day 6: Post Family Posters[]
- Six geese laying eggs, arranged such that it looks like a time-lapse of a single goose laying an egg. This sequence might be inspired by Sallie Gardner at a Gallop or similar animations.
