Finnish Christmas postage stamps: Santa bringing gifts
The 1984 Christmas postage stamp is interesting mixture of something new and something old. The stamps design continues to seek out new style with a pinch of old. And after four years of double-stamp issues, the Finnish post returned back to give final experiment with single stamp christmas issue.
The topic of the stamp is nothing less than Santa bringing gifts. Unlike the American santa who arrives trough the chimney, Finnish Joulupukki walks from the front the door. Much more convenient IMHO
