Christmas Island’s 2022 stamps start off much like they did in 2021 – with a New Year bang. Artist Chrissy Lau is a busy person. Not only has she completed both of Christmas Island’s 2021 and 2022 Lunar New Year stamps, she was also responsible for Guernsey’s beautiful postal works of art. This year is the Year of the Tiger and, seriously, how can you go wrong with tigers as a motif?
Australia’s Post Office issued 3 sets for Christmas Island stamps last year. Sea turtles were bookended by the New Year and Christmas stamps. The largest set to be issued was the annual Lunar new year and this year is no different. Australia’s post office went full throttle on cancels, numismatic covers, gold foil stamps and more. It’s a huge selection of collectables.
Not much else to say other than “Enjoy”.
