snowy scenes
It is perhaps a little ironic that these snow laden landscapes are this year's Christmas stamps. All week, the news has been about how most of us are going to have a green Christmas.
I got those on a small envelope, and I find it just wonderful. So little details to admire, and so perfect colours! Of course, we never have a white Christmas :)
I have got some Christmas stamps this year. See them here.
Only the sky and water colors are different. This might be my favorite at this year from all the countries I've seen, maybe equal with the magical Dutch Decemberzegels.
Watching old Xmas movies from the 30's and 40's on Turner classic movies. Another reason for nostalgia: they have snow in the movies. My contribution: http://viridianpostcard.blogspot.com/2023/12/sunday-stamps-christmas.html

I should have checked your posts, Eva, and chosen a different stamp... Oh well.
FinnBadger, to be honest neither did I until you pointed it out!

I love seeing them more than once!
Beautiful stamps as indeed is the poem.
