Edit, in case anyone wishes to see all the previous Christmas issues, from 1966, they are here.

Very nice stamps and page. Thanks for sharing.
I notice that the individual stamps have a margin of paper around the edges that appears to have perforations or rouletting.
Some questions:
How are these issued? Panes of each stamp or some combination of denominations on a single pane?
Is there a strip of paper between stamps that you have removed or are the stamps next to each other and you have just removed the surrounding stamps?

Hi Sally, the stamps are issued in a sheet of 50, they are self adhesive and on backing paper, which is what you see around the stamps in the image. They were also available in booklets of 8 and 4, though I'm not sure if that applied to the high value stamp.
This site will give you further details.

Thanks! Looks like they were issued in several formats. Having to purchase a sheet of 50 of each to get one stamp is like what the USPS does…and really has me considering whether to stop buying new issues.

You do not have to buy a whole sheet, they are supplied that way to post offices, who then sell as singles.
Royal Mails website sells them, which is where I purchased mine as a set of 5.

Here are this years UK offerings, very similar to previous years issues. Thought I would start a new post rather than add to the previous ones which may take a while to load
