I must chime in here! I got my issue last night and the card was great! High-quality, and a real keeper unlike most cards I receive on special occasions. It left me feeling all warm and fuzz- oh wait, no, I'm just on fire.
Happy (Goblin) Holiday Paizo! We love the work you do. ; )
question: do goblin societies allow for holidays? If so what do they celebrate

They celebrate the day they ate Baby Jesus. Well, they say they ate Baby Jesus. If you ask me, it was just some random baby they found in a cradle somewhere. Cheating little bastards.
I hear they have that ritual where their high priest christens some kid "Jesus" - and their holy water is barbeque sauce.
The Pope is handing out goblin bane swords as we speak.

Goblins don't have set holidays, because they requires some way of keeping track of days, which is difficult without forms of written language and a natural affinitity for having everything over a hundred as "lots."
If Goblins have a Druid, or other nature-aligned type, they might celebrate solstices and equinoxes, and maybe any celestial changes like eclipses that might happen. These are usually celebrated by teh Goblins doing whatever teh Druid says as they pretend they're controlling nature.
Other Goblin Holidays, like the weeklong feast days of "We-Caught-a-Merchant-Train-in-the-Easilly-Ambushed-Pass" tend to be spontaneous, and celebrations of pure, blind luck.
If Goblins live close to settlements that have large, noisy celebrations, Goblins tend to have hastilly planned parody celebrations taht usually center about robbing empty houses and mooching off the party trash.

That was too funny.

I didn't get my card either - and I've thoroughly checked both issues in my shipment as well as the other extras (Paizo summer '07 catalog, City of the Beast excerpt, and Science Fiction Book Club offer). I've also stuck my hand in the envelope and said as many command words as I could think of, just in case it was an envelope of holding or Heward's Handy Envelope.

Sorry to revive this thread. I'd just like to say that my card DID come when everybody else got theres. My wife, however, checked the mail, put it somewhere, and completely forgot about it. Even when I asked her specifically if there was a Christmas card from Paizo with the shipment, she said no. Anyways, it turned up the other day and my wife said "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you about that."
Urgh.
So thanks Paizo! The card was awesome!
