To round up all my Season's correspondence, I got another kind postcard full of the best possible wishes sent by Christkindl, this time from his postal office in Austria.

I have to thank Mario Paiva, of the ever interesting O Filatelista blog, whose post on Austria's Christkindl Post Office, was instrumental in my getting this interesting piece to my collection.

Two Christmas issues stamps were used on this postcard:

the 1.20€ stamp was issued on 14NOV2025 and its image depicts a stained glass pane at the Parish Church of Saint Leonard, illustrated with the Birth of Christ.

The 0.65 € stamp, illustrated with a wintery scene was issued on 11November 2010.

The very nice and clear pictorial postmark is illustrated with the image of the 3 Magi, presenting their offers to Baby Jesus.
