The Christmas Story by Barry Feltham. Free event at the RPSL.

By Royal Philatelic Society London

Overview

Enjoy wine, mince pies, and the history of Christmas celebrations told through philatelic material.

Christmas has gathered around its customs and traditions for over two millennia, some of which even pre-date the Christian festival itself. From gift-giving to the sumptuous spread of a Christmas dinner table, you cannot escape the fact that we love wearing silly Christmas jumpers, eating and drinking way too much and dashing around the shops at the last-minute buying presents.

Join us for some wine and mince pies while our speaker Barry Feltham uses stamps, covers, paraphernalia, and some light-hearted video clips to tell the story of Christmas and its celebrations from Neolithic times to the 21st Century.
