Austria: Salzburg in Winter

MerrChristmas to Everyone!

On Saturday I got two postcards: one from Austria and one from the USA.

The card from Austria is a Tausendschön card of Salzburg in winter. I have already visited the wonderful city of Salzburg a few times, but I have never been there in winter. It must be a nice atmosphere in the old town with Christmas lights and maybe even snow.

This card was sent with a special postmark from Christkindl, the famous Christmas post office that answers nearly 2million letters and postcards every year. The actual stamp on this card is the cute personalised Christmas Panda, but a type of cinderella was used as well. Called "Leitzettel" in German, this one helps to sort the mail that is supposed to be sent via Christkindl. Cinderellas like this one are issued since 1951 and were once free, but now have to be bought. Used here is the newest one issued on 13th November 2020.


 Thank You very much Anita! Wishing you A Merry Christmas!
