Manchess Holiday Stamps
Artist Gregory Manchess created four new stamps for the US Postal Service to celebrate the winter holiday season:
Celebrating the spirit of the holidays, the U.S. Postal Service captures the playful pleasure of Christmas snow globes on four new stamps. Each Snow Globes stamp features an artist’s rendition of a wintertime or seasonal motif.
In each of the four stamps, artist Gregory Manchess used oil paint to reproduce the magic of the holidays held within four tiny, encapsulated landscapes. The stamps include a snowman, Santa Claus poised on a chimney, a majestic deer and a Christmas tree.
The Snow Globes stamps are being issued in booklets of 20 Forever stamps that will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce price.
A first-day-of-issue event will be held on September 19, 2023 at the Stephen C. West Ice Arena in Breckenridge CO, and is open to the public. To RSVP, visit usps.com/snowglobes.
