-
Scott #827 (1.70 markkaa) depicts children gathered indoors, reading and preparing for Christmas, emphasizing family, warmth, and anticipation.

Scott #828 (2.00 markkaa) features Santa Claus with a reindeer, rendered in bright colors and playful detail, reflecting Finland’s strong cultural association with Santa and Lapland Christmas folklore.
Both designs are richly colored and gently whimsical, characteristic of Finland’s late-20th-century Christmas issues. The stamps are bilingual, inscribed SUOMI–FINLAND, and were issued for seasonal postal use.
