Christmas Stamps by Iceland

Hi ! I am back with a new Post.Looking forward to the festive season of Christmas, I have two stamps, designed by children shown above on Christmas issued by Iceland on 6 November 2008. Earlier this year Post Iceland held a competition among primary school children for the designs of two Christmas stamps to be issued in 2008. The children were encouraged to use their imagination and creativity to design stamps that they would themselves want to use on their Christmas post in the spirit of the festivities. Two pupils in the 2nd class of Nesskoli in Neskaupsstadur won the competition. The motifs consist of the Yule Goblin Stiff-Legs and the Christmas Cat.According to legend 13 Goblins arrive from the mountains before Christmas. The first one, Stiff-legs, arrives on December 12th. The last one, Candle-beggar arrives on Christmas Eve. The Christmas Cat is the house pet of the Yule Goblins' parents, Gryla and Leppaludi. In the second part of this Post, an interesting label of MS packet of St.Alphonsa issued by India Post. Just go through it. In our regular series some nice FDCs from the collection of our distinguished member Mr. Shrikant Parikh. This is all for the Day!.....Till next Post ...Have a Wonderful Time !....

Study the scan of "Label" of MS packet of St.Alphonsa !!??!!

A question for you ......????
Find the second stamp .........????

Answer : There is no second stamp at all. Negligence on part of issuing label with incorrect information. The cost of 200 MS is shown Rs.4000/- so the cost of 1 MS is Rs.20/- while the MS is having only Rs.5/- stamp !!

This is the Point to Ponder.......
