Christmas 2025 First Day Cover
I have a full collection of NZ Christmas stamps and First Day covers which begins in the 1960s. They are full of artistry and colour, pictures which reflect the warmth and joy of the season. This year's rendiitions are extremely disappointing, with nothing beyond a robotic theme of 90' angles and straight lines, with some icons of bells etc too miniature to be seen. I buy this year's collection very reluctantly.
