When Queen Maud was crowned Queen of Norway in 1905, she became the first queen of Norway since 1319 who was not also the queen of Denmark or Sweden. This year marks 150 years since her birth. Enzo Finger engraved the stamp that will be issued as a miniature sheet.

This year it has been 40 years since NRK’s Christmas program ”Jul i Skomakergata” (Christmas on Cobbler’s Street) aired for the first time. It has also been 20 years since ”Jul i Blåfjell” (Christmas on Blue Mountain) first aired. Both programs created wonderful memories for generations of Norwegian children, and will be celebrated on Christmas stamps during this anniversary year. Camilla Kvien Jensen designed the beautiful stamps.

There are lots of good reasons to take a closer look at this year’s year book. The book has also this year become a showpiece for Norwegian stamps. Read more in this magazine. The first stamps next year will be issued on 21 February. But before we get there, we will celebrate Christmas. All of us here at Norway Post wish you a truly Merry Christmas. And remember to send your Christmas letters in time.

Ein privat person Statusen til dronning Maud som britisk prinsesse var utan tvil ein medverkande faktor då Stortinget tilbaud Prins Carl den norske trona i 1905. I juni 1905 oppløyste Stortinget i Noreg unionen med Sverige. Seinare abdiserte kong Oscar II, og prins Carl blei tilbydd den norske trona. Etter ei folkeavstemming takka han ja – og den britiske prinsessa blei Noregs første dronning etter oppløysinga av unionen med Sverige. Kongen tok namnet Haakon VII, mens sonen Alexander blei kronprins Olav. Dronning Maud tok fatt på pliktene sine med stor iver. Som dronning fekk ho sjølvsagt mange representasjonsoppgåver, og ved desse høva var ho ofte svært velkledd. Det har i seinare år blitt arrangert fleire utstillingar som viste fram den personlege og elegante klesstilen til dronninga. Dronninga kunne verke sky i offentlege samanhengar, men privat var ho ein munter og varm person. Og sjølv om dronninga ikkje var den mest synlege i offentlegheita, tok ho på seg ei rekkje sosiale og kulturelle oppgåver. Dronning Maud var dotter av dei seinare Kong Edvard VII og Dronning Alexandra av Storbritannia. Ho beheldt den sterke tilknytinga til Storbritannia livet ut og oppheldt seg i England ein periode kvart år. Dette bandet dronninga og den norske kongefamilien hadde til Storbritannia skulle vise seg å vere til uvurderleg hjelp under den andre verdskrigen.

Glade jul I 1979 begynte NRK å sende julekalenderserier som barneprogram før jul. Blant de mest populære finner vi «Jul i Skomakergata» og «Jul i Blåfjell». Det har gått hele 40 år siden «Jul i Skomakergata» ble sendt på NRK første gang, men den er utvilsomt en av NRKs mest populære julekalendere gjennom tidene. I korte trekk handler «Jul i Skomakergata» om skomakeren Jens Petrus som har det travelt før jul, men som likevel tar seg tid til alle som kommer innom verkstedet på besøk. Hver av de 24 episodene har dessuten et dukkefilminnslag med Jon Blund og «dagens rettighet» fra FNs barnekonvensjon.

I 1999 så en annen sterk kalenderserie dagens lys på NRK. «Kom Blåne! Kom Jente! Kom Gutt! Snart kommer jula til Blåfjell …», lokket blånissejenta Turte Blåværshule alle desemberdagene frem til jul. «Jul i Blåfjell» ble produsert av NRK Barne- og Ungdomsavdelingen. Idé og manus var av Gudny Ingebjørg Hagen, og serien handler om blånissene som har mye å gjøre fram til julenatten. Hver dag skal de lage «Den Blå Timen» og passe på at fjellet er rent og pent og har det godt. Men noe er ikke som det skal. Noen tømmer søppel i fjellet og nøkkelen til Kvisthulen er borte!
