Christmas Cards

 Jabblog has featured her collection of Christmas Coffee Mugs recently and has mentioned that Christmas Cards and her mugs frequently feature idyllic images of snowscapes and pretty villages.

When I was a child, cards here in Australia also featured idyllic snow covered scenes at Christmas, with robins, holly and berries, or Glittering Christmas Trees with fake snow on them. 

Some time ago, Australian themed Christmas Cards began to appear in our stores and I thought my overseas blog friends might like to see a few of them.


'Tis the Sea-Sun!


Let it Snow ELSEWHERE!


Christmas Wishes from Down Under

Merry Christmas Mate!


Have a Fair Dinkum Christmas


Merry Christmas


Christmas Wishes


I found a star to hang in my room


A Nordic Gnome to stand guard in the laundry


My 68 years old Elf still merrily plays his saxophone. Behind him to the right is a Tree ornament, a "snow" encrusted TARDIS with a holly wreath on the door.


and I even found my one-and-only Christmas mug. No snowy scenes on this one.

    That's a nice collection. I would rather like the snow covered Tardis.

      Andrew; I've had that for years now but you could maybe find one at Amazondotcomdotau? It's meant to be a tree ornament and has a string to hang it, but I don't have a tree large enough, it's 4 inches tall and 2 inches square.

    I threw a snowball at you. Did I get a hit?

      Mike; no, either it hasn't arrived yet or it melted as soon as it reached our shores.

    I like how your star fits the color scheme in your room.

    A lovely collection. I am glad that we are (finally) starting to have more Australian cards.

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.
