Between 30 November and 26 December 2008

The service is available in all post offices. A Christmas Post label must be bought and adhered onto picture postcards and letters. Items are then forwarded to Nagykarácsony, the village whose name means Christmas in Hungarian, where they are given a decorative postmark with an Advent holiday design. The design changes each week and unusually is in green instead of black ink. This extra attentiveness helps the addressees feel the love and respect expressed towards them even more.

The design of the Christmas postmarks to be used between 30 November and 26 December 2008 were designed by graphic artist Eszter Domé in a style matching the Christmas 2008 stamps.
