SCF Christmas Card .....say It With Stamps ! [prize!]

SEND YOUR SCF BUDDIES A CHRISTMAS WISH ! YOU CAN EVEN SAY IT WITH STAMPS IF YOU WISH

Let's make it a big long thread.
I will be away from December 16th-30th. I will be bringing back with me something nice, something very nice.
I will also be wrapping something nice for the poster of the most original or beautiful or funny or..... Christmas wish.
I will read them all when I get back and tell you which one warmed the cockles of my heart the most. [or whch one tore my guts out laughing ! ]
I know you will all post something grand. So my job will be extra hard.

Off you go then......

Hey ! I can join in too.

Merry Christmas

Londonbus1...no, that's not it, it's coming soon !

Why did I think you were Jewish?

Happy Holidays! Have a safe trip...you got 5 more days to go!

With one hand on my heart and the other holding my hankerchief over tearful eye, I begin to wind down my forum activities in readiness for the upcoming Christmas trip to Germany and England...Oops, sorry, Great Britain.

But before I go and leave you in peace [and quiet], I want to send to you my Christmas Wishes.

I hope Santa leaves everything you pray for.



Especially if it's philatelic of course !


But first you must get busy posting letters and cards to loved ones......



You must go to Church......



...and sing Carols.



And don't forget to stop by and visit parents and Grandparents....



...and if it's snowing you may want to brave the cold and make a snowman !



The little ones will hope that Santa Claus arrives safely with his Reindeer.....



...but not come down this little boys chimney ! {HELP...Fire !]



But whether you're feeding the Ducks...



Feeding the Birds...



Feeding the Cat...



...or feeding yourselves



I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS !

....with lots of lovely presents, especially Philatelic ones [Hey, you said that already ! ]





I wish you could all join me in Bavaria for some nice Bavarian Food...



..or a small beer....



Maybe another time.

In Engla...er, sorry, Great Britain, I will at least be able to scoff myself silly with good British Chocolate......



But above all what I wish for most this Christmas is...



and Good will to all SCF members. !

Have fun.

Probably because I live in Israel !

But there are over 75,000 Christians too....and I am one of 'em !

So I get to celebrate lots of holidays and have more days off [for stamping] than most others.

NOW IT MUST BE CHRISTMAS GREETING TIME....

Londonbus1, thanks for the pictures. I often wonder what you guys and gals all look like. Now I have a face to associate with the pseudonym. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, enjoy your Kwanzaa, and Happy New Year. Thanks for all your philatelic help this year.

Hi Londonbus1,Hope you have a good holiday. Don't forget to take photos of buses. I'll see what I can dig out and post before you return.

Have a good trip. I'll be in Germany myself from 27th to 2nd for my 8th Silvester in Berlin.
