Sorry about you not getting your stuff. If you are looking to work on a puzzle here is a link to a PDF of all the envelopes and backs to tide you over until you get yours. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6uC87ZBKok3TUd0STMxNHpUX1E/preview
Sadly, the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine shows more or less the same stuff in August 2002. https://web.archive.org/web/20020820225727/http://www.sbjf.org/sbjco/schmaltz/yiddish_phrases.htm
Now... they could have found and used that site. But I doubt they control it, and it would be a big risk to use it in a puzzle. So I think this was a good idea, but is looking rather unlikely.
I was looking at that the other day! But on the envelopes, I didn't think to do the math. Here is a photo for visualization of the intersections: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5RjDykLldZiZDh1OGVfZlVEYUU/edit?usp=sharing
updated a missing line
Hmmm, interesting, yeah; in fact, it was on there right from the beginning at the bottom of the page.
But she did say that she hadn't heard of CAH, and stumbled upon this.
I don't know if this will help anyone at all, but there is an album called Hawaii: Part II featuring four members of the former alt rock group Tally Hall.
Same item I posted about in this thread
My thoughts were along these lines:
One strange coincidence. The comic for Celebrate Holiday from John Campbell (pictures for sad children) are about as close to the exact size of the cards as I've seen anywhere. And each cell could reference one of the cards we received... seems like a stretch the more I look at it.
1) They don't really match up no matter how you look at it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5RjDykLldZiSDhUdERaVllFY2s/edit?usp=sharing
Could they cover up parts of the cards, sure. Not sure how you'd go about that gracefully though.
And 2 was covered, the package is only large enough for the Clusterfuck cards. Nothing else but the coal would fit in the pouch.
OP here. I re-thought and depicted it using the images.
I made all faces orange and put the days in ascending order by number of faces.
Visible numbers are in purple. I think the 500ml on the Coke bottle is not visible, so I removed those numbers, but there are also numbers in cards that I had previously missed, so I added them in.
There is still uncertainty about what the actual phone number is, and none of the number combinations I have found so far lead me to a real-looking number when I google it, so I'm not ready to dial.

What else says this is the order? A fun fact mentioning "both" on the 2nd one, 3 on the 3rd one, 4 on the 4th one, and 5 in the title of the 5th one.
As I said elsewhere, , that sign was posted to CAH's Instagram two weeks ago yesterday (11/16/2015)! So there's a nice big, steady look at it. :)
Note that some A's were flipped, but not others. Some O's were replaced with flipped Q's, but not others. Hmmm....
Yes, mainly because out of my laziness. It's just a normal submit button, not much special about it - felt it could be left out. Just wanted to detail the whole "math" idea of it.
Edit: here's a revision with a button: http://jsfiddle.net/ys5n0m59/2/embedded/result/
I found some things in the stylesheet that might be interesting...
form[name=formMulti] .operator { font-weight: bold; }
form[name=formMulti] input[type=text] { width: 255px; }
form[name=formMulti] .q4 { width: 714px; background: white; margin-top: 15px; overflow: hidden; vertical-align: bottom; }
form[name=formMulti] .q4:before { content: "="; color: black; font-weight: bold; }
form[name=formMulti] .q4 input { width: 90%; }
So there's a rule for an operator
- very likely math...
Q4 is special - has an equal sign before it. So questions one through three might be numbers you have to fill in next to operators, and four would be the final answer?
Here's my crappy shot at what it might look like: http://jsfiddle.net/ys5n0m59/1/embedded/result/
Not really sure - but I'm assuming we have some math questions!
edit: mirrored comment to a post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/holidaybullshit/comments/2o81pk/ideas_i_gathered_from_the_css_stylesheet/
The [designer of the Alt Natl Parks poster]a(https://dribbble.com/shots/3367705-Alt-National-Parks-Posters-Sequoia) and one of the Miller Lite posters definitely appears to work for digitaslbi supporting this statement. Maybe there's a reason they chose these specific projects for the 45 Irving site?
It's how I organized things together.... may or may not be how it all unfolds but I find it helpful to "link things together" in a way that makes sense... maybe even easier for someone who needs to catch up? https://trello.com/b/ZVXiuNi7/hanukkahlol-puzzles
Likely this
I would rather not post in in the actual post, because no one is required to donate. However if you yourself want it, the link is this
That's off-topic. And also this.
yeah...so "Ducky" : http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/APP12.html#Ducky and EXIF it's just " a standard that specifies the formats for images, sound, and ancillary tags used by digital cameras (including smartphones), scanners and other systems handling image and sound files recorded by digital cameras " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchangeable_image_file_format
So I think it's nothing finaly :(
The scrambled phrases from the video say to "Find a Scaly Creature." Could this be the scaly creature?
It a skyrim dragon image from this website:

Not really sure how to organize it all for those looking. With everything sprawled out it is kind of difficult to manage it all or get a good shot of everything with detail
Here is one interesting thing. The inserts and kids note are the same size: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5RjDykLldZib1JlTUpRZk5HSjA/edit?usp=sharing
And here is the newspaper and one of the Post pictures. Paper is a bit larger. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5RjDykLldZibUxETDVDMTFvYkU/edit?usp=sharing
Amazon protip: everything in an Amazon URL that starts with "/ref=" and beyond...you don't need it. Save yourself some space and use a shorter link, like this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Low-Spark-High-Heeled-Boys/dp/B000W02LZ0
The placement of the coins must matter here. Notice how there is a sheet with letters associated with it on this Magnatab: Amazon link Do the coins line up with the letters in any way?
