Has anyone looked at this year's Xmas stamp? The designers certainly needed to as it definitely looks as if Mary is playing keyboard while Joseph is on lead vocals. I've seen it on a lot of sites and have to agree.

I saw a clip of a nativity on the telly the other day which made me laugh.

Joseph & Mary was the scene - could have been outside the stable maternity block, but, Mary (holding the infant Jesus) turns to Joseph and says in a loud and clear voice..... "You're not the Dad!"

I think Mary is destined for greatness as an actress of stage and screen!!

I think it is supposed to resemble some plant that was around in those days! This information came from the paper, I think, or was it the radio? Lord only knows!! grin

Our village Post Office has run out of 2nd Class stamps!
That's put the kibosh on posting until more arrive 'possibly Saturday' when last day for 2nd Class post ?

She's changing a dirty nappy on her baby table - so obvious!

We'll this is my first laugh of the day.

The shelter over Mary looks like a giant catapult.

The red blob on the second stamp is most definitely reindeer donkey poop !

DH thinks it looks like a Tasmanian Devil! Do you think it got lost or was it following the star from the east?

An orangey frog?

Has it got a tail, or is that just a shadow/smudge?

Katek Tue 22-Dec-15 17:55:23

I thought it could be a tail....

I think it's a dinosaur - were they around in those days?
