Sunday Stamps - December 22, 2024

 Christmas is the theme this week for Sunday Stamps.  

Greece 2019

Iceland 1988
 No, I don't see the Christmas in a fisherman either (it was hard enough to figure out it was a fisherman until seeing it enlarged).  The other in the series is a ship.  Maybe it's the star?

USA 1964

USA 1962

These are not postage stamps, but Christmas Seal stamps.  When I was little these were sent to everyone hoping for a return donation.  My mother stuck them to the back of Christmas card envelopes.  I don't know if my parents donated, since I was just a little girl.  Maybe, as my paternal aunt had had TB growing up and they might have wanted to help the efforts to wipe it out.  I remember hearing stories of how she slept on the covered sun porch.  

Canada 1964

USA 1959

Next week?  A hard one!  Really!   "A" favorite!  Singular?  Like I said, "hard."  Maybe I can hedge that singular a little.  Like a favorite stamp with a dog.  A favorite stamp with a weird image.  A favorite stamp with a memory.  Not a stamp with a memory, I mean a stamp that provides a memory!
