| Norway's First Christmas Stamps 75 Years (1980) |
Nasjonalforeningens og Sanitetsforeningens julemerke 1980 translates as The National Association and Gray Ladies Society Christmas stamps 1980.
I understand The Gray Ladies are the Red Cross volunteer workers who provide non-professional care and services for the sick and convalescent in hospitals.
To see what others have chosen for the holiday theme don't forget to visit Viridian's sunday stamps 49
Just in case I don't get the chance to join in next week, I wish all who participate in Sunday Stamps a very Happy Christmas. My special thanks to Viridian for the work she does each week in keeping us on our toes.
These make a really beautiful set of stamps. They are colourful and have lovely designs. I haven't been too fond of the British offerings recently.
ReplyDeleteVery nice stamps from Norway, they are reflecting traditional values and scandinavian culture in a proper way.Happy Christmas!
ReplyDeleteNorway strikes again! And what an amazing collection! Im jealous!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Bob!
They are all so nice I couldn't pick a favourite. Great idea to put all the stamps together, like a trip through time.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all the designs together. We would call those "Christmas seals" here.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. Bold and bright!
ReplyDeleteLovely colours, great stamps.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bob for your kind words.
ReplyDeleteI like the walking snowman stamp,and the church with northern lights next to it.
Nice, think I like the northern lights one best. Cheers, and Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful collection of stamps! Happy Christmas to you too!
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting selection. I rather like they show Christmas stamps that aren't so serious.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas to you.
The artwork is superb, Bob. They are all so lovely that I'm not sure if I could choose a favorite.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you & yours ;O)
Hugs,
