Честит Божиќ * С Рождеством * Merry Christmas

...to me and to everyone else celebrating it today! Even though I can say we are like a minority compared to the people celebrating it on 25th December, im still glad and thankful that people DID remember I celebrate it today and expressed their kind regards. Thanks everyone!!!!
Im not in a real Christmassy mood....I think that (as ive said before) the whole euphoria goes to New Year's....and Christmas is more like a calm day, spent with your family...no presents here at Christmas...no fuss...except two non working days....I really really hope dear Mr. Postman will brighten up my mailbox tomorrow....lack of mail has been making me really cranky :P

it has been a nice day....I must note that the weather outside was absolutely gorgeous! 14 degrees (yeah, few days ago we had snow...)...But it was just really nice! I also had this unfinished task to do, but I gave myself the freedom not to work today and just enjoy myself....and it felt good! Plus there is tennis :)

Today wont be a regular post day...Ill just show you the Christmas cards I had received so far....enjoy! :)

just want to point out, that cards are posted in order they were received...I dont want someone to feel wrong if his or her card is among the last or so :)

and of course, with some Christmas cards, come the Christmas stamps! I wont go into details for each and every one of them...ill just post them here for your own pleasure....and I must say that Russia never ceases to amaze me with their lovely colourful stamps! Just beautiful!!

I know there are too many images and that this post may seem über chaotic, but there was no way I could exclude any of these cards....and it only Christmas once a year...so you'll get by :)

Once again, thanks to everyone who remembers that our Christmas is not celebrated in December, but in January....it really means a lot to me!

Will be back with the regular posts from tomorrow on, so stay tuned!

Christmas Cards, part 3

Well, even though Christmas is somewhat way behind us, i wanted to show the cards which arrived between the last Christmas post and today...

 

from Ksenia in Poland

  

from Anastasia in Russia

  

from Monika in Poland

  

from Kati in Belarus

and a Russian Christmas stamp, which i have to say came on a magnificent  Russian envelope...the most colourful and greatest city-portraying envelope i had ever seen.....my mum was especially impressed! 

 

thanks everyone for filling up my mailbox! :)

Christmas Cards, part 2

Ok, i cant make a regular update today, but i still needed to post something...for several reasons :)

First of all today something amazing happened and i have to share it with you...ok, i admit i have to brag with it as well, but i think that if you people dont understand the feeling that all those non-postcard collectors, certainly wont :)
Today being Sunday is a no mail day (i know that in many countries there is no mail on Saturdays as well...luckily, we dont fall into that group :))
Anyway, being a Sunday, the last thing i expected was to have mail...but my dear postman went against all odds and made me feel delirious! He brought me mail on a Sunday!! LOTS of great mail!!!! I absolutely adore him for this!! He is the greatest postman ever!!! To even add to it, there is soooo much snow outside that you can barely walk, but he worked today and brought me mail!! Yay yay yay yay!!! Ive been feeling soooo high all day long coz of that!! And it wasnt just mail...it was 15 postcards and 3 Christmas cards!! An absolute delight!!! I am so enormously thankful to him...even though its his job actually, im still sooo thankful for coming today...I just feel sorry that he had to go through such weather conditions...i think that it contributes a lot to the overall significance this has for me!! Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank YOU!!!!  My first mail in 2009 comes in such a great and totally unexpected way!
I truly wish that something like this or at least something similar happens to you as well...the feeling is one of a kind....and my postman is one of a kind :)))

Well, i know that i said that if i receive some additional Christmas cards i will add them to the original post...but now i find it somewhat inappropriate....coz frankly, what are the odds that you actually go to the post and see if there is something new...plus, since i want to again commemorate the enormous amount of snow we have outside, these cards just feel perfect for it, instead of posting a card which isnt truly eligible to be posted :)

So here are the 3 Christmas Cards I received today....

 

from Tanja in Germany

  

from Przemek in Poland

  

from Sietse in The Netherlands

and, of course, stamps :)

Christmas Stamps

And here is an extra post for all you who love and collect stamps... i know that many of you who drop by here are into stamps, so here is a small treat for you...my Christmas gift to you ;)

just enjoy it...i dont think any comment is necessary coz the stamps themselves are pretty self-explanatory....if there is a stamp which is not Christmas related it means that it couldnt have been left out, in order to scan the Christmas ones.....any additional Christmas stamps received upon Christmas cards will be added here....too bad Macedonia didnt issue some nice ones this year...there was one, but it was intended for mail inside the country, and either way, as usual, the post offices didnt really offer them...otherwise, i would have put one on the mail i had sent...

 

Hope you like them :) 

Regular postings will be back from tomorrow on so stay tuned :)
