Merry Christmas! Say It Here With Stamps.

THE MERRY CHRISTMAS THREAD !

OK all. That silly season is upon us. When everyone goes mad shopping, buying presents for friends and family; going to work parties and coming home steaming and giggling ; Playing in the snow or lying in the sun depending on where you live.

A time of goodwill towards men [and women], and making sure the little ones are happy. Overeating and underworking; making a snowman or making sandcastles, depending on where you live!

But take time out over the next few weeks to wish your SCF buddies a Happy Christmas. Instead of 'Saying it with Flowers', say it with stamps.
Wish your best SCF buddies or all of them a Happy Christmas with stamps.

The best Christmas wish will receive a beautiful and superb prize from me.

I am sure they will all be good so I will not be the judge.....you will ! Details later.

Like the childlike quality. Lovely colors. Here are some others.

Well its almost time for Sinterklaas to appear..i am trying to get the complete year Christmas sheets for the Netherlands on ebay but they are not giving them away !

So what is the history with the TB symbol on the child's dress. Is is one that falls into a christmas seal catagory such as these from 1919 & 1923?
