Day2: "Missing numbers can be counted on, until they're no longer missing." *Maybe the cups?*
Day3: "Why choose a dessert when you can have them all, as a Starter" *Something about the chart of desserts?*

Day4: "Nothing is at seems. Puzzles aren't puzzles and colors aren't colors." *Maybe it's an order or maybe letters? Perhaps the puzzle’s a decoder or something?*

Day5: "Three overlapping words is all takes. Make sure you get the right words"

Day6: "Be careful, there was no pie, it was gelato. Not primates but in your prime..."

The painting "Silent Night" (also known as "Merry Christmas" or "Juleaften"), created in 1891 by Danish artist Viggo Johansen
It’s a painting titled Warmond Castle in a Winter Landscape, created by the Dutch artist Jan Abrahamsz. Beerstraten between 1661 and 1665.
What I can guess is that there's a rug in the cabin that's red, and next to it is football gear, but this is Old-Timey and British, so it's rugby! Now the rug is red, so... red B? B's red, I think?
The only things I can make sense out of this is that it says ape and the Pecan pie is actually Pecan gelato.

If it has something to do with 67, I’m throwing the game!
