Connie has picked up the Christmas cards from Kinko's.
Connie: "We all look so connected and so happy together, just like the family
I always hoped we'd be!"
the card shows a picture of Connie, Jeremy and Walt.
Walt: "... and maybe someday we won't have to Photoshop Jeremy in."
How about Photoshopping in Chad?
Has Chad been in the strip since 2006?

I think he went looking for Chuck Cunningham.

Is Chad supposed to be Jeremy's brother? If so, why does he say "your
sister" instead of "my sister" or "our sister"? Chad (in that strip)
comes across more as a cousin or uncle (for some reason, I peg him as
Connie's younger brother, maybe because of his resemblance to Elly's
brother in FooB).

Yes, this struck as a bit odd when I looked at the strip before posting.
The first panel points to Chad belonging to the family: Jeremy says "Chad!
You're home!"
Maybe the sister is a half-sister.
Maybe it's a reference to Calvin & Hobbes:
http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1986/11/02/
Where dad says "I'll go see what your kid is doing." Mom answers "MY kid?!?
..."
(I use this page to find Calvin & Hobbes strips:
http://ignatz.brinkster.net/cstripsearch.html
But I was unable to find it, and googled Calvin & Hobbes + your kid and found
a page that violates a bit more copyright:
http://michaelyingling.com/random/calvin_and_hobbes/search.php?phrase=cannonball
)
Wikipedia has a reference to them being brothers:
41 ^ Scott, Jerry (2000). Humongous Zits. Zits. illustrated by J. Borgman.
Andrews McMeel Publishing, LLC. p. 17. ISBN 978-0-7407-0013-2. "Jeremy: My
brother Chad is in college. He's four years older than me and about a million
times smarter. Plus, he was an All-State basketball star, valedictorian,
student body president and voted 'most likely to succeed.'"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zits#cite_note-chad-40
Maybe that's just how he speaks.

Maybe the sister is an on-the-fly sarcastic invention by Chad.

From Big Honkin' Zits, the second Zits Treasury collection
comes this from the Walt character description:
"Your first son, Chad, was a piece of cake to parent...
smart, handsome, confident, likable, polite, motivated..."

That would be the obvious answer. That's how I've always seen it. But today
my brain had a hitch and I focused on Chad's wording.

Chad is mentioned in today's Zits.
First panel:
Connie: "We haven't heard from Chad in a while."
Walt: "The boy is in college, Connie."
second panel: it turns out that "a while" is two weeks (and shouldn't it be
mom who calls? she seriously excepts a 20-something male to call her on the
telephone?)

Poor Chad!
"The Department of State warns U.S. citizens of the risks of traveling to
Chad and recommends that U.S. citizens avoid all travel to eastern Chad and
all border regions."
"Family members of Embassy personnel under the age of 21 are not authorized
to reside in Chad."
Wait, what? If you're Embassy personnel and you're under 21, you can't have
your parents living with you? But you can if you're older?
Although Chad may be poor, at least there's no warning against having some
Chile.
Revealed in today's Zits:
They don't have a dog. (But what's the point of having a big floor if you're
not going to use it for anything?)

Is the lamp a reference/homage to Charlie Brown?
