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.
