This year's Christmas issue features lovingly designed motifs of
historical greeting cards from the original holdings of the
Liechtenstein National Archives. The four stamps - “Christmas tree”
(face value CHF 1.00), “Gift-giving” (face value CHF 1.20), “Friendship”
(face value CHF 1.90) and “Tasty treat” (face value CHF 2.50) - appear
in a practical, self-adhesive sheet of 20.
The unifying element
of all the stamps is the depiction of children in atmospheric Christmas
scenes: from picking out the Christmas tree and giving presents on
Christmas Eve to spending the night together and the lovingly baked
cookies that smell tempting - and are waiting to be discovered as a gift
from angels.
