Every year, stamps are issued to mark the winter and Christmas season. This time, the designs follow a family through four shared moments: visiting a Christmas market, wrapping presents, sending them, and enjoying a cosy Christmas dinner. To create the stamps, British illustrator Lemady Rochard, who has lived in Switzerland for 13 years, was inspired by her own family life: “For me, Christmas often means both closeness and absence. When we can’t be with our loved ones, we try to stay connected and show our affection – with gifts, homemade cards and small tokens that we send to our family and friends in different countries.”
