  • Where are the real Christmas stamps?  Where are the Christians?

    May God bless you and keep you

  • It seems the last real Christmas stamp was 2016. 

    Please note artists used prostitutes to model for Madonna and Child which isn’t really Christmas.   Christmas is the Nativity.  

    Christians are lukewarm for allowing this.

  • They do still have the religious choice as well (and I've been able to get them every year):

    Christmas Madonna and Child Stamps | USPS.com

    But, of course, it's not advertised!

  • You are absolutely right.  Not a Madonna and child anywhere, we are in Phx AZ area.  All they offered me were elves!  And get this, the Post Office does not sell american flags, only my grocery store.  I don't ask for the american flag stamp, I just noticed myself what is happening.

  • Had to ask, but we have them in Indiana. It is from a painting displayed in the Indianapolis art museum I believe.

  • I buy these in bulk and then use them all year long.  No one says you can't use religious stamps all year.

  • You can buy the few issues of Christmas stamps year round from the USPS.

    These are all the "holiday" stamps.  Just order the ones you want.

    Every one of the stamps has the word Forever before USA crossed out.  What are they trying to convey?????

    Are they for real???

    The "forever" references the fact that it is a First-Class Mail Forever stamp.  The post office has pretty much done away with stamps being denominated with a number of cents, and sells First-Class Mail Forever stamps, meaning that if you buy the stamps, but they raise the cost of postage later, the stamp is still good to mail a First-Class letter.  The word is crossed out on the advertisement so no one can print it off and try to pass off a fake stamp as a real one.  The stamps you purchase at the post office do not have the word crossed out.

  • Not good enough.  At least Canada has the three wisemen.)

    I want traditional manger stamp with Virgin Mary in blue not red.  I want shepherds, angels, animals. And st Joseph.  The Holy Nativity is Christmas.  We as Catholics should not accept less. 

    On my phone Diwali is mentioned but no all saints or All Souls’ Day.
    May God bless you and keep you
