One of the most traditional season in our world is Christmas, it motives us to feel more sensibility to our neighbour. As a big celebration, Christmas has been featured on stamps around the world and Salvadoran ones are not the exception.

The first Salvadoran Christmas stamps were issued in 1976 and included, as a main motif, the picture of a child with a Christmas tree. This issue has 8 values and were issued on December 16.
