Gibraltar Post has celebrated the Christmas 2010 by issuing a set of four stamps feature the icons in related with the Christmas season, Christmas ornament, Santa Claus, Christmas stockings, and Snowman on November 16, 2010.
Christmas ornament as important part of Christmas tree may include bells, candles, candy canes, stockings, wreaths, and angels.The practice of putting up special decorations at Christmas has a long history and the Christmas tree is often explained as a Christianize of pagan tradition and ritual surrounding the Winter Solstice, which included the use of evergreen boughs, and an adaptation of pagan tree worship.
Christmas stockings are hung near the chimney on Christmas Eve for Santa Claus to fill it with goodies for the children. It is an empty sock or a bag that is given the shape of a sock.
The children in United States and some other countries have been following this tradition of hanging a Christmas stocking, believing that Father Christmas will fill it with sweets and gifts for them. The items that are believed to be stuffed in the Christmas stocking by Santa Claus are known as stocking stuffers.
