  2. WK - I think they’re rather attractive & like the depiction of the Christmas story. I also very much like that there are only 5 stamps this year (plus extras of course). If only every RM set were made up of just 5 stamps.

    1. But Royal Mail continues with its customary Christmas 'treat' of surrounding the exact same set of stamps with an unsympathetic border graphic in the name of a 'miniature sheet'.
