Description: Since 1904, a special Christmas stamp has been published every year, which you can affix to your postal items in connection with the Christmas post. The sale of Christmas tags is the basis for the establishment and operation of the Christmas tag homes around Denmark. The purpose of the homes is to house and help vulnerable and particularly needy children. The film shows various recordings from the daily life of seven homes, including Hobro, Juelsminde (closed in 1956), Fjordmark at Flensborg Fjord, Holbølls Minde in Svendborg, Lindersvold, Mørkøv and Kildemose at Frederiksværk. Children's Day consists of, among other things, of teaching, doctor's visits, playing and having fun in the garden with pets, communal dining, light field and garden work, walks and beach trips. At Christmas time, the children frolic in the snow, and on Christmas Eve they dance around the Christmas tree and receive presents from Santa Claus.
