Christmas

The design of this year’s special stamps by Luxembourg native Tanja Majerus – who has been living and working in Los Angeles for many years – clearly shows her talent for breathing life into animals and imaginary characters. In both motifs, what we were really being shown is children building a snowman and decorating the tree, but Tanja Majerus depicts these typical winter activities using a clever weasel, a nervous hedgehog, a cool-headed badger and a cute and playful mole.
