Over the past several months, I have posted about the 2022 Christmas stamps issued by 15 different postal entities. This article contains images of those that I liked the designs for but never had the time to dedicate a full blog about. If you have favorites that were not included in this year’s series, please feel free to comment and let me know.
Moving forward, the next several philatelic articles will be about New Year stamps recently issued from the likes of Belarus, Moldova and Russia before I begin concentrating solely on New Issues for the upcoming year of 2023. Several entities have already announced their full issuing programs (or nearly all of their planned stamps), some have included images of the majority of these upcoming releases). I am excited about many of the designs that I have seen and I hope that my work schedule allows me to share quite a few of them.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from southern Thailand!
