Great Britain 1995 Christmas Robins issue, the higher value, 60p, robin on a door knocker, with a Nestle's Quality Street chocolates cancel over it.

I thought the cancel was timely and well placed. Hard to see the robin though.

My latest acquisition fitting the topic, and one of the most beautiful Christmas mini-sheets I have ever seen.

Ireland 1959 Christmas stamps, a 3 pence stamp and a 1 shilling 3 pemce stamp, Joseph and Mary with baby Jesus on a journey.

Rogier van der Weyden (1400-1464) is the artist of this lovely painting of Mary and Elisabeth, meeting shortly before the births of their sons Jesus and John the Baptist. The details in van der Weyden's paintings are exquisite, some of them pictured in the border of the sheet. The original can be seen in Leipzig.
