About the stamp design: Illustration by Kirsten Ulve inspired by vintage ornaments and Scandinavian folk art.
First Day City: First Day of Issue Cancellation from Frankenmuth, Michigan, home to Bronner’s CHRISTmas Wonderland, known as the “World’s Largest Christmas Store.”
About the Holiday Delights set: Four stamps to make sending holiday mail more fun. Designs picture traditional holiday symbols: ornament, tree, stocking, and reindeer.
About the Contemporary Christmas series: The US issued its first Christmas stamp (picturing a wreath and candles) on November 1, 1962, and it was wildly popular. The Post Office printed 350 million stamps, the largest print run for a special stamp up to that time, but still the stamps quickly sold out. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing produced more to satisfy demand and the total number issued was over 860 million by the end of the year.
In 1966, the Post Office started issuing traditional themed Christmas stamps picturing the Madonna and Child and other religious icons. In 1969, they switched back to non-religious Christmas designs with a stamp picturing the painting Winter Sunday in Norway, Maine.
Finally, in 1970, the Post Office decided to permanently split Christmas stamps into two categories to satisfy everyone: Traditional and Contemporary. They issued a block of four stamps picturing Christmas toys along with a stamp picturing a classic painting of the Nativity. The decision to do both proved popular, and the Post Office has continued to issue stamps in both categories ever since.
History the stamp represents: As the holiday season gets closer, children begin thinking about the arrival of Santa Claus and his famous reindeer. Every child in America has heard their names: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and (sometimes) Rudolph.
It's amazing to think what Santa’s team is said to accomplish in one night. Most people would jump at the opportunity to meet them in person. And there is one place on Earth where they can – Santa Claus House in North Pole, Alaska. It’s a gift shop and attraction where visitors can buy ornaments and other holiday decorations, and, of course, meet Santa’s reindeer.
The North Pole Post Office is known for processing thousands of letters to Santa every year. At Santa Claus House, parents can even put in a request for a letter to their children from the “Big Man” himself! Each of these letters goes through the North Pole Post Office and receives a special postmark indicating it did, indeed, come from the North Pole.
A visit to North Pole, Alaska, is. Memory the whole family will not soon forget. Santa Claus House is a place for young and old to visit Santa’s reindeer and enjoy the holiday spirit year-round.
