I always love doing a post on Christmas stamps and there are quite a few in my collection that I have to still put up here. Yesterday after putting up the cover from Switzerland I thought I might as well show you my Christmas stamps from this wonderful country.
The first Christmas stamp of Switzerland was issued as a semi-postal in 1987. I have the stamp and you can see it in the picture below, the first stamp, first row. Semi-Postal Stamps are stamps that include a first class postage charge, plus an additional amount to fund a charity or community cause, such as health care and research. The other stamp on the same row is also a semi-postal from the year 1998. In the two stamps on the first row, the additional amount for charity is 10c and 35c respectively.
Complete set of 3, 2009. I specially like the strip of 3. A close friend from Zermatt sent me the stamps.
Christmas Tree - 100c.
Gift - 130c.
Complete set of 3, 2011
Chapel - 85c.
Christmas Tree - 100c.
Chalet - 140c.
