20081207 - Going Postal

Somehow I don't think my glass Santa's going to be posting my cards for me...

The stamps are Royal Mail 'Smilers' - but rather than a pic of me, I tried to find something festive. I failed, so this pic from almost exactly a year ago will have to do...

Great little Santa, and a good choice for the stamp too!

You have done well on the Smilers as this years Christmas stamps appear to have guys in drag on them. What is wrong with trees and baubles? Has this country gone politically overcorrect??? At least you've done well on the cards, not so much the shopping :)

Somethings santa's helpers cannot do....he's cute though.

You need a glass Postman Pat for that.

Yes, but you still have to drop them in the post box!
Like the reflections in Santa.

lovely reflections and brilliant image...

I'm impressed - I've got as far as getting out the cards,
and the list, so maybe you have inspired me to write a few!!.
I actually love doing it really - like to do an individual message on each.
Love your little glass santa by the way.
