Issued in 1978 by the Bailiwick of Guernsey, this 11p Christmas stamp beautifully depicts a sprig of Holly (Ilex aquifolium), a classic symbol of the festive season. The design highlights the plant’s glossy green leaves and bright red berries, emblematic of winter cheer and traditional Yuletide decorations. The profile of Queen Elizabeth II appears in silhouette at the upper left, a hallmark of Guernsey issues. Printed by Courvoisier, this stamp combines botanical artistry with seasonal warmth, marking a memorable entry in Guernsey’s holiday philatelic tradition.
