Finnish Christmas postage stamps: Introducing Mrs. Santa Claus

The discountend rate Christmas stamp features Santa with some young christmas elve’s:

Hello Keijo…
Just wanted to say how much I’m enjoying your parade of Finnish Christmas stamps. Your commentary is always so insightful concerning the culture and traditions of Finland. I also wanted to add that I received your cover today. It’s always a thrill for me, as a new collector, to find a little something waiting for me in the mail. Thanks for the response and I hope you liked the souvenir sheet I sent you. Take care and Happy Holidays!
Hi Chris,
I’m happy you are enjoying the series… I had lots of fun while preparing the articles as most of the items brings back good memories from the past years.
The souvenir sheet was nice, and I will definitely showcase it some time next year.
Happy holidays!
