I really LOVED your site - it's a great place to visit on a hot day! The music and the animation added a great deal to the viewing and has sparked an interest in me to join! A lot of creativity and hard work is evident and you project the Constitutions in the work. Thanks for a fun time! ........Barbara Whittemore

Your web site is fantastic. I already found a resource I have been looking for.

Thanks for the delightful web site. Music sure adds to viewing.

Just want to say that I like your site and will visit it more. I am a collector in Tasmania and have just recently start collecting Australian Christmas stamps and am looking at a later date to expand further. Congratulations.
........Marinus, Tasmania

Wonderful site.
........Linette

Keep up the good work on the web site. I enjoy it every time I get on AOL.

I visited your Christmas web site, interesting. Your collection was so impressive that I am going to start this new hobby.
..........Serene Phan, Malaysia

"The coolest philatelic site I've ever visited is the Christmas Philatelic Society at http://www.hwcn.org/link/cpc.   If this doesn't give you the holiday spirit year round, nothing will.
Make sure you have your speakers turned up full blast."
.........Janet Klug, "Internet Links," The Clermont Collector

This morning I decided to try once again to check out the Christmas Philatelic Club's Home Page which I haven't done for several months. All I can say is WOW! What a wonderful, superb, exciting creation you have accomplished! Thanks for all your work. I love it!
..........Roberta Olson, Osakis, Minnesota

This is a fun Web site, colorful with music -- makes having a CD-ROM worth it.
..........Christina Howland, Jacksonville, Alabama

Out of curiosity, I visited your CPC home page. It is SUPER! I'd like to get one going for the Wisconsin Federation of Stamp Clubs, but, time . . .
..........Karen Weigt, Middleton, WI

I enjoyed the Christkindl sites. Collecting is an interesting hobby. Turns out I arranged for a trade of golf ball markers for stamps with a guy in England thanks to your hobby links.
..........Bruce Maderic

I am not a stamp collector, but I do collect Carbonel Santons. In your latest description of the Yule Log, French and Monaco Santon Stamps are discussed. I recently acquired French Santon Stamps through WWW. I would like to purchase Monaco Santon Stamps and the November/December issue of The Yule Log. Can you help? Thanks in advance. Best Regards.
..........Martha

By the way, if I have also forgotten, thank you for keeping up the web page. I very much enjoy it.
..........Bob Overturf

By the way, your home page & CPC page is about the best I have ever seen! Thanks for keeping those "online" informed.
..........Linda Lawrence

I saw your CPC page in the PACIFIC 97 file yesterday for the first time. I loved it. I never expected to hear Christmas songs at this time of the year.
..........Mary Ann Owens

CPC Web Page also looks fantastic. Enjoy it very much. Thank you for all your hard work.
..........Kathy Sanders

Linda Lawrence told me of your web site. I LOVE IT! Can't wait to tell everyone about it. FALALA....LALALA!!!
Best regards,
..........Janet Klug

You are doing a wonderful job, with the page I hope the club understands the time and effort you put in. Thank you,
..........Nick Capozzi

... a new member today, as a result of your web pages. She didn't include her e-mail address in her letter. Will let you know, as soon as I find out. Love the CPC pages. I can't hear them, but the moving graphics are great. And the scrolling mention about VAPEX is super. Thanks!
..........Linda Lawrence

I just up-graded my computer again and now I hear the music and I think the page is one of the best on the web. I would love to have a page like this.
..........Nick Capozzi

I just accessed the CPC web page and it was great. The music was a big surprise and I loved it. My old computer had no sound capability.
..........Robert Anderson

Your web page is already the best I've seen :-)
..........Linda Lawrence

Thanks for all the work you have put into the CPC page and postings; and especially for the welcome, and for the publicity for the VAPEX event. The Yule Log is a fine resource and a far better than average periodical.
Best,
..........John Hotchner

I just have to tell you the music and graphics are about the best I have seen for any club on the net. It just seems like Christmas everytime I enter the page. I just think the page is the greatest, I hope more members can enjoy it. Hope you have a Holiday season.
..........Nick Capozzi

Well, here is one of those wonderful unexpected surprises. The Yule Log, in this case, is the name of the bimonthly publication of the "Christmas Philatelic Club." I have come upon the Web site of a worldwide society of stamp collectors who deal exclusively in Christmas stamps. According to their introductory statement, "the Christmas Philatelic Club is a group of dedicated philatelists, specializing in all types of Christmas philatelic material. The Club presently has an enrolment of about 250 members living all over the world." It was founded in Harmony, Minnesota in 1969 by the late Kenneth W. Mackenzie, as his contribution to keeping that warm glow some of us feel only at Christmas warmly glowing all year long. Articles from The Yule Log are available at this site.
..........Donald Lehnhoff, G.K. Wired, column in December 1997 issue of Gilbert!, publication of The American Chesterton Society.

One Celebrates Christmas Also in Cyberspace
The period of the holidays would be incomplete without the ritual visits within our large family and the meals that one can not finish. The time you miss navigating the net? If that is the case, cast an eye between two pieces of tourtiere or turkey at the web site of the Christmas Philatelic Club.

This specialized philatelic club was founded in Minnesota over 25 years ago and has today 250 members who have this in common: they marvel always and each day of the year in front of Christmas trees, garlands and New Year's gifts...and still more.

On the electronic autoroute, the site of the club, under the responsibility of Kathy Ward of Stoney Creek, Ontario, we learn that certain philatelists diversify their collections by researching their cachets with December 25 cancels on envelopes originating from cities named Bethlehem, Christmas or Snowflake. Others collect replies from Santa Claus, little importance to their countries of origin.

If ever your agenda is not full during the holidays, you could always correspond electronically with some members of the club because included on the site are their e-mail addresses.
............Francois Gloutnay, Philatelie Quebec, Decembre 1997-Janvier 1998, No. 213.

Thanks for Visiting -- Come back soon!
