Norfolk Island Christmas Stamp

Hello, nice to be back on Sunday Stamps :) I can see that I've missed a few exciting topics, but I am sure there will be other chances to post ships and singers ;) I have come back from a trip and still haven't settled into a routine; I am sure there are plenty of holiday stamps to show, but this is the one that I have scanned some time ago and is ready to be posted...A Norfolk Island Christmas stamp from 1970, commemorating the first Christmas Service in 1788. Merry Xmas time everyone! xD

Australian Antarctic Territory

I was happy to read that the theme for #144 Sunday Stamps is Arctic and Antarctic, as I have for some time had these in my collection, two FDCs from the Arctic Scenes series, from 1985 and 1987. I really love the cancellation on the second one, maybe I should enlarge it ;) And of course give you the link to other entries, which I am positive will be just awesome, its such a great theme! (again posting this early, and it will be my last post for a while...hope to contribute again in december :))

Sea Life, Aldernay

A sea life cover that I missed posting for Sunday Stamps some months ago...actually not only for its theme but also as se-tenant stamps. Issued in 1993 with the WWF postmark.

Europa '77 Isle Of Man

I think I have mentioned that I try to collect FDCs and covers issued in 1977, year of my birth...The theme for Europa stamps was Landscapes, and here is the issue from Isle of Man :)

Spain Vintage

This FDC looks even more vintage than it really is because the images are dedicated to first printings. The set of stamps is from 1973.

Airmail From Kyrgyzstan

One of those cases when you arrange a postcard swap and get an envelope...but I will guess this was chosen for some good reason, safety perhaps? In any case an interesting postcard :) And although the lack of stamps was disappointing at first, I find that many postmarks quite interesting :))

Armenia

First cover from Armenia thanks to generous Radim, with stamps from 2012 showing Armenian alphabet and Soviet Armenian historian and academic Ashot Hovhannisyan. Very interesting cancellation, and lovely view of Yerevan and Ararat inside :)

USA Various

Patrick surprised me immensely with this donkey card of Turks and Caicos! On envelope he used recent USPS issues. Thanks a bunch!!
