PS. If you are going to buy special Christmas issue stamps for posting your Christmas cards, the Post Office have produced two options. One option depicts the Madonna and Child , the other is a set of pantomime characters. We have discovered that unless you specifically ask for the Madonna and Child stamps*, you will, as a matter of course, be given the pantomime set. *The Madonna of Humility by Lippo di Dalmasio on the 1st class stamp, while the 2nd class stamp features William Dyce's Madonna and Child.
