Sheet of 20 x $3.30 'Food' gummed stamps.
Christmas is often centred around a special meal that might take place any time between Christmas Eve and Christmas Night. Some people enjoy a warming northern hemisphere-style roast, while others will make the most of the summer weather with a barbeque or a picnic on the beach.
