Very Christmasy indeed :-) What I'm really curious about though is: did someone write their Christmas wish on the back of that card? And what was it?
16 months ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Edna Edenkoben club
Oh I didn't think to look on the back Edna! I know what I would write, but I cannot say, or it won't come true! :-))

Edna Edenkoben club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Oh, that's too bad you didn't look, Rosa, but perhaps it's better or else the wish on the card might not come true ;-))
And you're right, you cannot say it...and I would know what I'd write too, but I cannot say it either. Especially not here because too many people would read it! ;-)

Das waren noch Zeit,als noch diese Grüße per Hand überbracht wurden liebe Rosa,ich war ja auch 30 Jahre Briefzusteller,es war früher eine sehr schöne Zeit,obwohl das Wetter früher zum Zustellen viel härter war,als heute,ich war das ganze Jahr nur mit dem Fahrrad unterwegs,bei Regen,Sturm oder -20 Grad,man war abgehärtet und der Beruf war auch richtig schön,da hat sich heute sehr viel verändert!
Ich mag deine schöne Aufnahme mit dieser schönen alten Weihnachtskarte liebe Rosa:))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Günter Klaus club
There is something lovely about the old cards Günter. We have people like you to thank for delivering our Christmas greetings then! It must have been very cold in the winter, especially on two wheels! My middle brother was a printer, but when made redundant he too was a postman and he loved it...he did eventually have four wheels though ;-)

Best wishes and a good new week, Rosa.

So unusual, I certainly wouldn't bother using modern cards but this looks great Rosa. I might just have to pop over there!

They have decorated the house very beautifully this year Maggie. I have an album full of old postcards and Christmas cards that I inherited from my late mum. I love looking at them.

They were real works of art some of the older cards. Very nicely spotted and captured Rosa.

Best wishes, Doug

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Doug Shepherd club
They really were Doug. As well as an album of old cards, as I mentioned to Maggie, I have the first Christmas card my father sent to my mum. He wrote a poem...all I will say is, he was no poet, LoL!

Best wishes, Rosa.

Agradable Christmas. Los sujetos me recuerdan a un petirrojo (Robin), macho entregando una felicitación navideña a la señora Erithacus rubecula. Estos pájaros tan sociables con el humano se han ganado nuestro cariño. Te deseo una buena semana.

A really beautiful card............and the lace trimming makes it really special. Someone would have gone to a lot of trouble to make this.

Very well captured in lovely light. The detail is gorgeous and I love the warm colours.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
They were beautiful on this tree Keith. As I mentioned to Doug and Maggie, I have an album of old cards that belonged to my mother and I love looking at them. Some are silk and they are all very special.

Your kind comment is much appreciated, thank you.

Thank you for your kind comment Roger. Not many bulging sacks this year I suspect, with the price of stamps and the looming postal strikes!
Wishing you a good new week.

A delightfully old-fashioned close-up, Rosalyn. Beautifully done, a warm traditional evocation, really.
Wishing you a happy holiday season ahead!

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Eric Desjours club
Thank you Eric. There is something very special about the early Christmas cards. They had so much meaning in a world where people did not have everything they wanted.
Thank you for your kind good wishes my friend and I hope the same for you.

Mr. Robin looks very cute and everything's so festive!
In our town they have a charity Christmas tree with lots of cards on it with poor kids' Xmas wishes. People can take a card and buy the present.
