Santa & Julbocken

December 16, 2010 - Leave a Response

It seems as if Santa is going to get himself a fine tree too!
I received this vintage postcard a while ago.
It was sent as a christmascard by someone else decades ago in Sweden.

It came with a special christmasstamp. It depicts the Gävle goat that is set up in the centre of Gävle every year in December.


The tradition comes from Julbocken, the Christmasgoat that Father Christmas is supposed to ride in Scandinavia.

Time to set up…

… your christmastree!

Many of us are not as lucky anymore just to walk into the woods and cut a nice one that you’d like.
So for those of you from Northern Europe who still can, enjoy that special privilege and treasure it.

Meanwhile this fairy-like tree from Tove Jansson is the perfect way to soak up some christmas spirit.

Time to get out…

…your christmas cards!!
Isn’t this the most wonderful time of the year?
Go tell your loved ones they’re special with a pretty card.
Everybody likes to get post.
Make that mailman run!

Happy Halloween!

How about… taking pictures of random items of underwear and putting them on a postcard.
It is as ridiculous as it is nice but it sure works, cause it makes me smile every time I walk along my notice board.

Which one is your favourite?
