Youngest (looking at Christmas cards hung up everywhere): These arenโt really just from this year, are they? Me: Yes! Amazing, isnโt it! Thanks everso for all the joy youโve sent to friends, family and THLAS HQ. Sir Henry Cole would be over the moon!

Completely bowled over by the beautiful Christmas cards people have sent from all over the world, their kind words about the Society, and all the lovely gifts too. Truly touched. Thank you so much.

Everyone wins with these Christmas cards. Still time to send some and support a great cause. Hand deliver to neighbours, local services, favourite shops, houses with pretty lights, if stamp costs prohibitive.

Anyone have one last Christmas card they fancy sending to the CEO of Postnord Denmark to mark this tragic and terrible end of an era? Sadly no more letter deliveries for the Danish after 2025.

Donโt ever think Christmas cards arenโt worth sending. Not sure you could measure all the joy and warmth they bring, so youโre just going to have to trust me that itโs enormous. Even if you send just the one. Last posting today for 2nd Class (87p).

As we were there and as Emmeline Pankhurst shared the same birthday and resting place as Sir Henry Cole, we thought it only right to leave a Christmassy wreath and card on her grave to say thank you yesterday too.

A big push today to get the last of the membership packs in the post so they arrive for Christmas. No Mary and Joseph puns intended, but I did find the perfect Christmassy placename for them in my THLAS (aka AA) road atlas. Can you spot it?
