The cachet features a pixelated/dot-matrix style Christmas tree rendered in black and white, decorated with round ornaments and topped with a star, with wrapped gift boxes beneath it. The text 'Happy Holidays' appears in bold at the bottom right, and 'TECHNICAL' is printed in the upper left corner. The stamp is a 29-cent 'Greetings' issue depicting a colorful steamboat/riverboat with American flags, and the machine cancellation reads 'FIRST DAY OF ISSUE' with a circular postmark from Kansas City, MO dated October 22, 1992.

(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
