Printed stamps as Postage Paid Indicators - Christmas 2023 and more

In September I wrote about the first King Charles III Postage Paid Impressions using images of stamps, what Royal Mail referred to at one time as 'digital-stamps' printed direct onto mailings by large companies or mailing houses.

Now the holiday season is over I can show two examples of the 2023 2nd class Christmas stamp used in the same way.  Usually it is only the definitive and Christmas stamps are used in this way, but occasionally another 2nd class commemorative is made available - if the copyright is wholly Royal Mail's.

Christmas 2023 2nd class - thanks to JE, these are C9 10017 (The Delivery Group) from House of Bruar [and also Healthspan (no TDG logo) and Operation Smile (with logo)],  C9 10018 (Brightpost) from the Salvation Army, C9 10046 (Mi-Post) from Westminster Collection

Any other pictorial PPIs will be posted on this thread; King Charles examples will, in general, be on the September post linked in line 1.
