A great Christmas selection, and thanks for giving my blog a shout out 🎄
ReplyDeleteMaybe there are even more to arrive...
DeleteChristmas is a great theme for stamps. There has been much in the news about how few people send Christmas cards which is shame on so many levels - including getting a variety of stamps.
ReplyDeleteI guess in Canada people got very disappointed last year. Anyway, I get less Christmas mail every year :(
DeleteExcellent collection there!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bryon. You have contributed with some stamps! ;)
