Sunday Stamps - Christmas

Today's Sunday stamps topic is Christmas, so here are some Christmas stamps I received in 2021.


Eva sent this year's Spanish Christmas stamp, accompanied by an older one from 2011.


Last year's religious stamp from USPS - Our Lady of Guápulo.


I have been lucky enough to receive three of this year's Christmas stamps issued by Royal Mail. My favorite of the group is the £1.70 featuring camels.






A couple of Sparkling Santas issued by USPS in 2018 came in.





Two of the stamps in this year's 'A visit from St Nick' set of four and the accompanying postage label.




This one from Canada is my favorite of the season.


And this meme based on a Royal Mail 2015 stamp has been doing the rounds, and made me smile.

    You have got a good variety, too!

    As Correos doesn't issue stamps with the USA rate (only one, in 2021!) I need to complete with several stamps. But it' becoming more and more difficult!

      That is a bit crazy about the C rate stamp, although it is the same here - only 1 current international rate stamp, with some of the poinsettia ones from 2018 still available.

      The C rate is for the "rest of the world", except... USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. You are "zone 3" (or you aren't in the world...).

    I received the magi stamp from my friend in Scotland. I thought that was one of the most beautiful stamps I've seen. I also like this year's US Visit with St. Nick stamps especially Santa's dangling legs in the chimney. Sadly, no Winter bird stamps. Merry Christmas was nice to hear from you.

      Camels are an underrated subject for stamps in my opinion. I loved the Otters in Snow set, but didn't receive any.

    Good to see you back!
    Your Santas made me smile, but those Royal Mail stamps are beautiful, and now I am really sore at my relatives for only using the Machins this year.

      I usually get the printed label these days, so actual stamps was a surprise.

    The last one - the meme made me smile.

    Nice variety perfect with the Christmas tree lights. The Canadian deer is totally photo ready, amusing.

      I like the deer the best of the three Canadian 'portraits' stamps.
