A cover sent by Santa Claus from his official postoffice in Finland !
Santa Claus' Main Post Office is a tourist destination in Santa Claus Village in the Arctic Circle, about 8 kilometres north of Rovaniemi. It is the only official Santa Claus´ Post Office and part of the Finnish postal services. It is open all year and over 100 international media and about half a million visitors from around the world are welcomed.
Each letter, card and parcel mailed at Santa Claus’ Main Post Office is franked with a special postmark and stamp. The logo of Santa Claus’ Main Post Office was designed by Finnish graphic designer Pekka Vuori.
The logo is also a registered trademark. The postmark contains a stylized logo that was changed to its current form by graphic designer Jukka Talari in 2012. This special Arctic Circle postmark is a popular collectable and souvenir.
The postmark shows the latitude and longitude of the Arctic circle postoffice !
Update :
I couldn’t find the Christmas stamp that was on the cover , in the Finland stamp catalogues . So I had enquires the Santa’s elves
So these are stamps issued exclusively for the Santa’s main post office in Arctic Circle !
