This is similar to cartoons I've done every year since December 1998 for the Christmas cards we mail to clients. They always include pot-bellied elves, reindeer, and my face as Santa or an elf. Now we mail out happy New Year cards instead, so the Christmas cartoon goes in our December e-News.

In March 2009 Extreme Makeover: Home Edition returned to Las Vegas and the producers asked Wright Engineers to again provide multi-discipline engineering services. Our sister company, Wright Custom Home, was selected as the builder. With the help of dozens of subcontractors and thousands of volunteers, we completed a 3,000 square foot zero-energy home in less than one week. The episode aired nationally on ABC in May 2009.
