Christmas – Christmas kiss

Christmas stamp with two festively dressed children and special postmark from Christkindl, Austria.

The motif on this stamp is reminiscent of Victorian Christmas cards from the 19th century. It shows two children kissing. The little girl is dressed in a dress made of mistletoe, while the boy's jacket and headgear are covered with holly branches. Both plants, with their green leaves and red or white berries, are popular decorations during the Christmas season. Kissing under the mistletoe is a popular Christmas custom in English-speaking countries, which is said to bring good luck.
