This is the theme for the 2026 Christmas stamps, released in Tuesday by Royal Mail and designed by Rebecca Sutherland and Gareth Howat. I think they are absolutely lovely. I shall buy a year's worth! The five illustrations chronicle the classic Nativity
narrative:
- Mary and Joseph's difficult journey to Bethlehem
- The infant Jesus in the manger
- A watchful angel
- The humble shepherds receiving the good news
- The Three Wise Men following the guiding star
PS Thank you l for your kind birthday wishes for Bob yesterday!
I think I must get me to the Post Office! I like the ordinary 1st and 2nd class ones best - hope I see a lot of them!
