This 1977 Christmas Island series features six delightful designs illustrating verses from the classic carol “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” Each 10-cent stamp depicts a different gift from the song — Two Turtle Doves, Three French Hens, Six Geese A-Laying, Seven Swans A-Swimming, Ten Lords A-Leaping, and Eleven Pipers Piping. The charming artwork captures the festive spirit with stylized, playful illustrations reflecting the island’s seasonal celebration. Issued for holiday mailings, the set embodies Christmas joy in a tropical setting, uniting music, folklore, and philately.
