December 12 Christmas Cover from the United Kingdom

The unique date of 12 December 2012 has no doubt inspired a flurry of philatelic activity amongst collectors.

This cover was received this month, a little creased and minor tear, but the stamp and postmark intact and clearly visible.

Thank you to BarbadosStamps for this cover!

Canadian Covers

Just to prove that I don't only admire or collect Australian Stamps, here are a few Canadian covers that I have received via the Monthly Cover Exchange on StampBoards -

First up is a cover with the recent Canadian Christmas gingerbread Mini-Sheet.

Second a cover with stamps the celebrate 250 years of; The Black Watch, Royal Regiment & Royal Hamilton Light Infantry.

The third cover utilises stamps featuring Tommy Douglas and commemorate the birth of medicare - Universal Healthcare.

All three covers are postmarked 12 December 2012.

Many thanks to my December Cover Exchange Partner for this lovely trio!

Twelve-Twelve-Twenty-Twelve

Twelve-Twelve-Twenty-Twelve I received this cover in the mail today from a fellow StampBoards member. The usage was completely commercial as it contained something that the member was sending me and pays the correct rate of $1.20 for an envelope that size and weight. A lovely striking pair of current $0.60 Christmas Stamps, postmarked; Kerrimuir Vic 3129 12 Dec 2012.
