Postal workers are reminding customers to send their seasonal greetings before the deadline for Christmas cards and gifts.

All second class mail must be posted before December 18, and the first class deadline is December 21.

Lee Kilfoyle and Melanie Lammin, who work at the Oxford Royal Mail centre, in Cowley, are pictured with this year's festive stamps.

They also displayed a giant hourglass to warn of the deadlines.
