As I was pondering what to do with this cute stamp, I was remembering twin polar bears born almost 20-years ago in my local zoo. Their mother abandoned them, but zoo staff successfully raised them. It was quite an experience for the entire city - we all stood in line for hours to see them, books were written about them - they were famous!
Their names were Klondike and Snow and they lived most of their adult years in Orlando. Klondike died just this fall and Snow died a year ago at the ages of 17 and 18.
These stamps aren't quite as cute as the real baby cubs - but pretty darn close!! And these twin bears are wishing you a Merry & Bright Christmas!
