The kingdom of Bhutan celebrates its National Day on December 17th in recognition of the ascension of the first king of Bhutan and the start of the Wangchuck Dynasty on this date in 1907.  The Bhutanese postal service is loved by philatelists far and wide, not least for the consistent innovative stamps issued--the bottom stamps, for instance, are itsy bitsy records that can be played on a record player.  *Swoon*  Happy National Day, Bhutan--someday I will come and visit you!
