Looks like a perfect American Christmas. Just like the films.
I really like that. It looks a little like Lowry in style.
A very Merry Christmas to you and yours. Have a lovely time.
Merry Christmas! Maximum cards definitely have an appeal.
Oh, now I see what you mean! Christmas stamps do look great on maxicards. Maybe that's another idea for collection :)
A very merry Christmas to you and yours, Postcardy. Have a meaningful one.

Odd that it is considered non-religious, as there's a church standing there prominently.
Go figure!!

Maybe this design was chosen to combine the secular and religious. It was issued before the U.S. started having two Christmas stamps each year in 1970.
Nevertheless,
very pretty!!
