Another fine holiday puzzle by Patrick! Once I got a foothold, it all pretty much fell into place fairly quickly.

Like others, it took a bit to get started and then things started to flow - fun puzzle and thanks for the heads up, @auee89

Got it! Needed to get one toehold and the rest fell into place. How the heck does he create these?!?!
