For me, nothing says "Christmas" like Christmas commemorative postage stamps.

When that first Christmas card drops through my letterbox in early December, adorned with one of the year's Christmas stamps, I know the festivities are upon us.

Watch my video below to discover:

• Which country produced the first Christmas stamp
• Why British Christmas stamps almost didn't happen
• And why one 13p Christmas stamp from 1988 is now worth £10,000

Thanks for watching. To view all our stamps for sale, including some choice Christmas commemoratives, click here.
