Christmas

There are pictures, feelings and activities that belong exclusively to winter – such winter-themed moments are portrayed in photographs in this year’s Christmas set.

Christmas stamps

Sandro Reichmuth, from Eastern Switzerland, travelled extensively around his home region to create the new Christmas stamps. The 44-year-old didn’t mind trudging through the snow in the freezing cold – being a landscape photographer, he enjoys being outside at any time of year. And whenever Sandro sees the perfect photo opportunity, he forgets everything around him; just as he did when he saw the Christmas tree in the St. Gallen Klosterplatz, providing the motif for the new Christmas set: “The evening sky wasn’t too dark yet, the fairy lights were already on, and a few flakes of snow fell right in front of my lens – a winter moment of happiness you can now see on a stamp.” The other three winter moments in the set depict the St. Gallen Gallusplatz during the busy Advent period, the Schwägalp Lantern Trail and a volcano firework going off near the village of Speicher in the Appenzell region to celebrate the new year.
