About UK Christmas Stamps
Britain issues Christmas stamps annually since 1966. The first Christmas stamps featured the Madonna and Child by Titian and a King Henry VIII manuscript. Christmas stamps alternate between religious and secular themes. The Christmas stamp tradition is one of the most popular UK stamp programs. Modern Christmas stamps feature designs chosen through public competitions and school art contests. Over 1 billion Christmas stamps are printed annually.
