CHRISTMAS TRADITIONAL

It is time for the Annual Christmas program and the youth choir is working on their dress rehersal. The music teacher accompanies them on the piano while at the same time directing and instructing. The angel costumes are a beautiful blue with golden wings and only the rich and varied tones of watercolors can obtain this special look Green pine boughs arid red ribbons give the setting that holiday feel.

The new traditional stamp has the First Day postmark from Richmond, Virginia. This year's stamp is from Paolo de Matteis' work entitled "Adoration of the Shepherds". My individually handpainted cachet is one that you will love putting in your collection. The hovering halos over the young singers. The brightly burning yuletime candle. The hard-working music teacher determined to achieve the best performance possible. And most of all, the eternal exuberance and excitement of youth at Christmastime. Item #X2601.  $11.75
