PC #99: Eine schöne Adventszeit

Here’s a beautiful adventskalender postcard from my pal, Melanie! I just got back from my vacation in PH and it’s only at this moment that I got hold of the postcards sent to me while I was gone.

I really like the concept of the calendar. We don’t have this in the Philippines, but we do Dawn masses, usually at 4 in the morning, from the 16th until Christmas Day. And when children start going house-to-house and singing carols, then we know that the Happy Day is coming. The anticipation starts as early as September, and so PH is dubbed as the country that celebrates the longest Christmas. Ach, I miss home. 🙂

But Christmas in Europe is also beautiful. Yes, it is much quieter, but where else can you experience a white and glittery Christmas?

Lovely German stamps used, including a Christmas 2015 one! Thank you so much, Melanie! I’m so lucky to be your postcard pal! ❤

PC #6: Vistas de Madeira Funchal

Funchal is the largest and the capital city of Madeira in Portugal. It is a famous tourist attraction because of its picturesque scenery and port for cruise liner dockings. My friend, Melanie, spent her holidays in “the flower island in the Atlantic Ocean” where most people go “for hiking and visiting botanical gardens”. She thoughtfully sent this nice card showing the Madeira Botanical Garden in Funchal.

The card is matched with a nature stamp. Thanks a lot, mange takk, danke schoen, Melanie 😉

PC #3: Neuschwanstein Castle (3D)

This made my day — my favorite castle! I still haven’t been there.. but it’s in my bucket list. 😉 Thanks to my one and only postcard pal, Melanie! ❤

Lovely stamps as usual!

PC #1: Greetings from Germany

Aaaah… it feels good to blog again. I used to blog about the postcards I receive, but I took a break from snailmailing. Now, I’m back again. 🙂 Here’s a nice card from my pal from Germany. I’m glad we start exchanging postcards again.

My pal used beautiful stamps as usual. 😉 Really like German stamps.
