Sunday Stamps - Christmas: Great Britain

 I'm always pleased to see robins in our garden so they are a natural choice with which to celebrate a secular Christmas.

This was one of a set of five issued for Christmas 1995. The other two of the set in my possession were - 


The postmark on the 11p stamp shows they were used in1996 - perhaps the robin had to find a road sign first; the robin had found a doorknob to rest upon on the 60p.

For more Christmas stamps just fly over to Sunday Stamp's calendar to start counting the days.

That was one of my favourite Christmas sets.

We don't see robins here at Christmas and even if we did they wouldn't be as cute as these guys.

The English robin is cuter than our American robins.
Great Stamps.
