Rich says he can't draw on a computer at all at the moment, so given that, he can't make a new ornament. He also can't come up with the idea for an ornament and then give that idea to someone else to draw, because it very likely wouldn't come out looking like his own work. That's why it's relevant.

Finding this old artwork is literally the only way that an ornament could be made this year, so why shouldn't Rich make out it's a big deal? In OotS Christmas ornament-related news of 2012, it's pretty much the biggest deal there is.
