Issued into the short days and long evenings of December 2025, this three-card Christmas set functioned less as seasonal correspondence and more as a quiet act of cultural placement. One card was dedicated to SWAN, one to Next Week's Washing, and one to a general ForgeMaster Records motif - each refusing nostalgia while borrowing its surface language. These were not promotional tools so much as signals: fragments of a parallel economy where bands, label and audience recognise one another outside the noise of commerce, delivered through the everyday ritual of the post.

Produced solely for that Christmas and deliberately allowed to vanish afterwards, the set rejected the idea of permanence as value. No repress, no archive stock, no future availability -only a brief window in which the objects existed, did their work, and disappeared. In that sense the cards operate as documentation of a moment rather than merchandise: a seasonal dérive, a paper-thin intervention, and a reminder that meaning in culture is often generated precisely at the point it refuses to be endlessly reproducible.
