Christmas Theme in Philately


Postage stamps with the theme of Christmas is one of my favorites because of the unique pictures and funny. Christmas theme in the world of philately is still less popular with other themes such as the flora and fauna. Perhaps because things philately with the theme of Christmas is more difficult to find than the theme flora and fauna. Almost every country in the world to publish the theme of flora and fauna of each year. There are even countries that published the flora and fauna stamps more than once a year. While the theme of Christmas is usually only issued by certain countries and only once a year in December. Indonesia alone could be said almost no Christmas theme stamps issuance. Although a bit difficult, did not rule philatelist up Christmas theme. Objects Christmas-themed non philately can be collected in addition to the collection. Christmas cards can also be added to the collection, although the more Christmas cards are rarely used because of the short messaging service via mobile phone is more popular.
