55c Christmas tree 55c Gift 60c Star<br />
The three secular stamps offer an alternative to those who<br />
celebrate the festive season but who would prefer not to<br />
focus on the religious aspect of Christmas. Many <strong>Australia</strong>ns<br />
identify Christmas with the Christmas tree and the excitement<br />
of opening elaborately wrapped presents early on Christmas<br />
morning. The decorative Christmas star is a reference to the<br />
bright star that the Wise Men followed from the east.<br />
