Nativity
Sweet Nativity

Postcard from: Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
Received: December 2011.
Language: Latin.
Envelope: yes.

Lion letter-box
Roar! Feed me letters!

Gorgeous stamp featuring an open-mouthed lion with a castle on its head 19th century letter-box. No idea where it is located although I have spotted some similar in Alicante and Valencia. I sent this stamp to Japan.

Updated 12/1/12:
La serie América UPAEP, emitida anualmente con un tema en común por los países de la Unión Postal de las Américas, España y Portugal, aparece dedica en esta ocasión a los Buzones. [...]
En el sello se reproduce una boca de buzón de mármol blanco, en la que se ha esculpido una cabeza de león rematada por una torre almenada. Estuvo instalada en la antigua sede del correo central de Madrid, situado en la Casa de Postas de la Puerta del Sol, hasta 1916.
La pieza forma parte de la colección de buzones del Museo Postal y Telegráfico, encargado de la conservación y custodia de piezas y documentos relacionados con la historia del correo, el telégrafo y la filatelia.

Nativity stamp
The Manger: Baby, donkey and ox

The first Christmas card of the season arrived today. A plain bright red envelope with a single small stamp gave me very good vibrations. The stamp is simply gorgeous.

What else could I expect from a comicbook reader friend? A comic-strip card. Fun!

And I must confess I totally fell for it. He didn't buy her a diamond necklace! I also feel cheated, Mrs. Penguin.

Received: December 2011.
