It was the Holiday week as my timing on missions was horrible once again. There was also a few hours on New Years where the missions and energy would not update properly. However the team did make a post saying that this issue would happen so I am not worried.
Giveaway
I ended up with a few of these cards after opening packs so I decided on this card this week.
The giveaway item is R62 Semi Acoustic and it is an instrument under the guitar music lessons. With 50 more luck, you have a chance of getting more drunk fans and it benefits you if you run piano lessons. Even if you don't run guitar lessons, it can help you in the rankings or you can trade it away to someone who wants it for something you need.

Current Status
For the first time, I actually forgot to do the millionaire mission on one of the days in the week. I have to start paying more attention and I have to make sure I do that 30 minute mission everyday to earn 10k starbits. Either way, my earnings this week were kind of bad. I didn't earn nearly as much as I thought I would. So I will probably only be able to open one more set of packs before the event ends.
There are no epic cards this week but I did get two more Christmas Choir cards this week. Unfortunately I won't be able to make that blended card as I don't have nearly enough cards.
I got some more seasonal instruments and I am waiting for one more Ding Dong Mic before making a blended one. As for the Happy Lampy, I still need 3 more and it's getting close to the end of the event. So hopefully I will be lucky and I will get enough instruments.

Current Goals
I am in the same rank as last week despite my mess ups. There is a decent gap between me and the person ahead of me so I wonder if I will move up.
I should be able to collect the new cards today after opening so I think my rank will move up temporarily for next week.

Tips (source)
I think the tips are something every new player should know about. It will help people progress in the game and it hasn't really been shared since surya1adiga stopped his giveaways.
- Take music lessons when possible to raise skill and reduce ego.
- Having lesson specific instruments helps in receiving more skill from that lesson.
- Have pizza box to store any pizza received during mission to reuse later.
- Buy cold pizza slice if possible. This gives 1 refill every 24hours. Comes very handy when you are low on energy.
- If you have enough of cold pizza slice and pizza box, you will never run out of energy.
- If you have more fans than skill and you want reduce the ego , you can use a storage trailer to store unnecessary cards. Or you can list the card in market for an unreasonably high price.
- Ego received for a particular mission increases every time you play it. The ego is reset to base level the next day. So, try to play different missions to control the ego gained.
Keep track of your achievements to unlock in game rewards- Buy storage trailer (only if necessary) to keep the cards that might have a negative effect. Like a card with high fan count resulting in ego.
- When earning skill points through music lessons, you can earn more points per lesson if you hold more of specific instrument cards. There seems to be base skill which is rewarded irrespective of the card count and then the skill increases depending on the number of the lesson specific card one has.
- Try taking up many smaller missions to fill up pizza boxes and have extra energy to play more rewarding missions. But you need to have pizza boxes for this to work.
