Sunday Stamps: Christmas

 Welcome to a very cold day in the American Midwest.  It is 9 degrees F right now.  Friday was even colder - a high of -6 F.  I wish you a Merry Christmas, and Happy Solstice.  It is Christmas today, but also time for Sunday Stamps.

Our theme today is Christmas stamps, of a religious bent.  The US Postal Service issues secular stamps and religious stamps every year.  This year's religious stamp:

A Madonna and Child.

Have a special day today!

Sunday Stamps: Secular Christmas

 Ah, yes, we are approaching the holiday-filled end of the year.  It's a cold day in the American Mid-west, and time to share some holiday stamps for the US Postal Service.

First, a poinsettia for international postage.  The red and green are so festive.

Also, for this year, other holiday stamps:

Happy elves, getting presents ready:

All these scan are from the USPS website.

My house is decorated, but the presents aren't wrapped, and the cookies are not baked.  All this will happen in the coming week.

Sunday Stamps: Toys

 Good day, and welcome to my contribution to Sunday Stamps.  It is a cool winter day in the American Midwest.  Temperatures are predicted to be above 32 degrees F during the day for the the next 10 days or so, so no white Christmas for us.

Today's prompt is for toys, or entertainment.  I have some stamps from Taiwan that I have shared before:

Children with oversized lanterns?  I am not sure.  But it's what I have for this week.  I do have stamps for the rest of the month lined up!
