The
Christmas-themed stamps for this year are the result of an artwork competition
arranged by Posti and the Finnish Association of Illustrators (Kuvittajat ry).
The Christmas greeting for Finland has been designed by Sari Airola from
Helsinki and the 1st class stamp by Sini Ezer from Espoo.
"The theme of the Girl and squirrel stamp is the joy of sharing. My aim
was to depict a traditional Christmas atmosphere while introducing a new, fresh
element through layout and coloring", Ezer says about the Girl and
squirrel stamp. "To me, one of the most important aspects of Christmas is
friendship and caring for others. I wanted my stamp design to conjure up
friendship and warmth. I selected classic Finnish Christmas characters, a
reindeer and an elf. My stamp design depicts the friendship between the two
characters during a Christmas trip, Airola says about the Run my reindeer
stamp.
Thank you Ella for this nice FDC with the pretty stamps.
