Christmas, all is glittering clean, and this scent, the scent of an authentic christmas tree. In the light of the lamps flicker the coloured glass balls, maybe even the same as on the stamps...
Christmas is time when we are better for ourselves and our neighbours. We look at the world warmlier, we send to family and friends Christmas greetings. Having in mind its clients, already as a tradition Polish Post has prepared two commemorating post stamps which will adorn the festive correspondence.
On the day of introduction of the stamps into circulation will be issued for sale an FDC cancelled special issue in use at the Post Office Warszawa 1. |

On the 25th October this year we will have 50 years when from the studio of the Telecommunication Institute has been broadcast the first 30-minuts program of the Polish TV.
The first years of television were times of seeking new technical an artistic solutions but also the joy of creation of a new media.
To-day Polish TV is a public broadcaster, broadcast two nation-wide programs TVP 1 and TVP 2 and 12 local programs co-forming Regional TVP 3. There is also a satellite program TV Polonia, received in the whole Europe, North Africa, North and South America, Australia and Kazakstan.
Since 50 years TV is a permanent guest in hour houses, a window to the World, forerunner of good and bad news. Having this in mind Polish Post wish to join the jubilee celebrations issuing 4 post stamps illustrating popular TV programs: "TV News", "TV Theatre"," Pegaz", and "Teleranek" /TV Morning/.
