As Eva wrote, a somewhat somber Christmas stamp from Spain this year
From Royal Mail's set this year featuring lyrics from carols:
A very nice stamp from Greece showing the three magi, with a beautiful gold foil accent.
And some lovely stamps from France, courtesy of Fabienne. I love the red and blue against the red envelope, and the polar bears are my favorite.

All beauties! The Spanish one is the dullest, sadly. The Christmas stamps (B-rate) feature regional manger scenes, one region a year. This year it corresponds to a nativity scene made of sand, in the Canary islands.
ReplyDeleteThe A-rate Christmas stamps, featuring traditional sweets, looks a bit better on envelopes.
I'm impressed that that scene is sculpted in sand. I think this week we only have one stamp the same.
DeleteFunnily enough, I have received three cards from the UK and each one has these magi!
ReplyDeleteI think this is the only international rate Christmas stamp from RM this year
DeleteI've got two as well :)
ReplyDeleteI even got one with a marker-strike - despite the fact that the barcode should make that unnecessary.
DeleteGreat selection, love the balloon riding snowman and polar bear
ReplyDeleteDefinitely my favorite :)
DeleteAll beautiful. I love the RM magi and the profile of King Charles III. My favorite stamps from your selection are the ones from France especially the black bear with a scarf.
ReplyDeleteSome really nice stamps this year - that bear is great, isn't it.
DeleteThe French stamps are pretty!
ReplyDeleteThey look perfect together
DeleteQue de belles découvertes encore ici, les courageux ours ont bravé mer et ciel pour te souhaiter un joyeux Noel :)
ReplyDeleteThanks to the brave bears, the postal workers, and of course you did sending them!
