After a brief Interval Botswana again issues a set of
stamps to commemorate the festival of Christmas. We are
not all Christians, but all recognize that God gave s
life and beauty and all thank him for the gift of
nature. It is to honour God's gifts that our Christmas
stamps reflect plants, aspects of nature's amazing
diversity. This Christmas, the stamps illustrate flowers
that bloom after the first rains have fallen and the
land has again turned green.
