Today's theme in Sunday Stamps is Numbers. Seeking for inspiration, I found this lovely 1977 stamp, from a 6-stamps set dedicated to The Twelve Days of Christmas.
I hesitated about publishing a Christmas stamp in July. But... this is a crazy year, isn't it?
Christmas in July is always fun.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love this set (almost posted it myself!)
I think I've only got two stamps from this set. But I'm unable to find the other one (the 9p)!
DeleteIt was a lovely set. It is said that the symbols and numbers may be pre-Christian and relate back to the celebration of Yule. Seven Swans a Swimming is a message to celebrate the beauty of the unknown so there you have Christmas in July:)
ReplyDeleteFirst time!
DeleteI've always loved this set. Reminds me of being a kid.
ReplyDeleteI had to look up the song when I got the first stamp :)
Deletehave you heard Miss Piggy's version? (John Denver and the Muppets) I still giggle whenever I hear the song no matter who is singing.
DeleteI have just heard it. So now it's really Christmas in July :D
DeleteSo no Spanish or Catalan version of this? I wonder if it is an English-only carol.
DeleteNot that I know. The first time I saw this stamp I was puzzled :)
DeleteGreat set which I'm pleased to say I have. Good choice.
ReplyDeleteLucky you!
