Today the Royal Mail is launches this years Christmas stamps featuring none other than Wallace & Gromit.

The collection features the well loved characters in different Christmas scenes – from caroling to decorating the Christmas Tree. To coincide with the launch Royal Mail has created a site where you can go make your own Wallace & Gromit character. The interactive site lets you choose your hair, facial features and clothing, so that you can turn yourself or friends into characters. You can then download the image of turn them into personalized postage using Royal Mail Smilers. I had a go making myself (above) but came out looking a little more angry looking than in real life.
