It's Christmas time and that means time for sharing Christmas stamps at Sunday Stamps, at See it on a Postcard blog. My contribution is below.
This image is from the US Postal Service website. They generally have a Madonna and Child stamp every year (this one from 2013). Following a theme, it seems, the Christ Child is hardly a newborn here. And He has a funny face - even a little creepy, maybe? Note Mary is resting her head on her hand - she is probably very tired!

A lot of 'Madonna and child' paintings DO seem to have a creepy baby Jesus. This guy looks a bit like Rand Paul - same hairstyle!
I agree with Finn that baby Jesus often looks creepy in Madonna paintings. But I like that this Mary looks realistically tired!
Too much artistic licence in nearly all paintings of baby Jesus.
Tired Mary is very realistic...
