Embellished Christmas Sheetlet Pack - Australia 2014

This pack also came to me along with the stamp pack in the surprise package from Australia. The contemporary stamp issues for Christmas this year are presented here in a pack that consists of two sheetlets of 10 self adhesive stamps each of the two designs.

The festive and colourful contemporary stamps represent the familiar trappings and sentiments of Christmas celebration and recall techniques of paper cut design as well as snow crystals.

Christmas Stamp Pack - Australia 2014

On October 31 earlier this year, Australia issued their annual Christmas stamps. The issue consists of two religious and four contemporary designs. The religious stamps are based on stained-glass windows in Melbourne’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral, which is both the tallest and the largest church building in Australia and one of the world’s largest Gothic revival 19th century churches comparable in size to St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York. The stamps depict two of the church’s many beautiful stained glass windows, showing the Nativity of Christ and the Flight into Egypt.

I received a nice package from Australia a day before Christmas day with this Stamp Pack in it. What you see below is the front and back of the pack followed by the Christmas stamps, all six issues and the minisheet of the year in it.

Christmas Stamps Pack 2013 - Australia

Another pack received in my mail today. This one is a stamp pack of the 2013 christmas stamps and mini-sheet from Australia.

Printed on the back of the pack:
This year's Christmas stamps combine a modern with a more traditional approach. The two stamps in the minisheet depict the biblical story of how shepherds were "out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night". An angel appeared, bringing "good news of a great joy": Christ the lord was born in Bethlehem. The shepherds are shown adoring the child who is in his mother Mary's arms, watched over by Joseph. The other four stamps are a more modern interpretation of the festive season.
