1983 marked the sixth year in a row that the Madonna and Child were used on a Traditional Christmas stamp. #2063 is the second Christmas stamp to use a painting by Raphael in its design.
Designed by John Berkley, the Contemporary Christmas stamp shows a close-up view of that pudgy, jolly old elf with the twinkle in his eye – Santa Claus. However, this familiar concept of St. Nicholas is an American creation, first designed by cartoonist Thomas Nast. Previously, artists had depicted Santa Claus as a thin, serious-looking man who used one horse - instead of eight tiny reindeer - to travel on Christmas Eve. It was first issued in Santa Clause, Indiana.
