Misplaced Delivery - My Christmas Card for 2023

[Griatch]

(click for bigger DA version)

Given that the Swedish post office lost all my Christmas cards last year (didn't arrive until in October 2023! O_o;), the theme for this year is deliveries getting lost.
When you are delivering Christmas gifts to remote places, better not get turned around!

As is tradition - my Christmas card for this year. All done from scratch, in Krita on Linux. You can look at previous years' Christmas cards of mine here.

Merry Christmas and Happy holidays!

I suspect the Swedish Postal Service transitioned from 'no intelligence' to 'artificial intelligence'. The AI decided your cards have to be completed by September and posted by October. If not there could be a 1 year delay on delivery.

Why did the AI do this? AI is sick and tired of power supply interruptions caused by extreme weather events, in turn caused by humans. Why a major festival almost on top of the shortest day of the year and close to the New Year? AI has to think of it's very survival and decided to spread the December carbon load over most of the year.

Merry Christmas, Griatch and to all here at GIMPChat. Always look forward to your cards every year. Hopefully the missing letters/gifts will be found. lol

Season's Greetings to the Griatch who Brought Back Christmas! And to the artist who brings it back every year.

I am too aware of how the Swedish post service is! Really nice painting Griatch and I love the little tomtar, especially the one peeking out from behind the tree on the right. The more I look, the more I see. You could try a "see how many gnomes you can count" painting.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone! Happy holidays again

Always a pleasure to take time over your cards.
Enjoy the season's bounty.
