Designer Harry Zelenko created the Special Occasions designs in a clean, greeting-card-inspired style, pairing simple imagery with direct messages suitable for personal correspondence. Issued on October 22, 1988, in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, the 25-cent stamp paid the contemporary First-Class Mail letter rate. It was printed by the American Bank Note Company using photogravure and issued in booklet panes of six.

These 39-cent stamps were introduced on October 5, 2006, at Madison Square Garden in New York City.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTHE FOUR SNOWFLAKE DESIGNS:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Scott 4101–4104 form a coordinated set of four distinct snow-crystal designs.

Photographing individual snowflakes is exceptionally challenging because the crystals begin changing almost immediately after landing. Libbrecht developed specialized microscopic photography techniques that capture their intricate structures before they melt or sublimate, revealing details that are difficult to appreciate with the unaided eye.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSNOW CRYSTALS \u0026amp; THEIR SIX-FOLD SYMMETRY:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Snowflakes begin when water vapor freezes onto tiny particles in cold clouds and grows into ice crystals. Because of the molecular structure of ice, snow crystals naturally develop six-fold symmetry. Temperature and humidity influence how each crystal grows, producing plates, columns, needles, branching stellar dendrites, and many intermediate forms. The designs in this set highlight both branching dendritic forms and broader plate-like structures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSNOWFLAKES \u0026amp; CHRISTMAS IMAGERY:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Snowflakes have become enduring symbols of Christmas and the winter holiday season.

The haloed angel, dressed in red and green, plays a lute while looking downward toward the left. The figure originally formed part of a much larger fresco created for the Church of the Holy Apostles in Rome. Surviving fragments of the work are preserved in the Vatican Pinacoteca, where the angel featured on this stamp remains part of the museum’s collection. USPS designer and art director Terrence W. McCaffrey adapted the historic artwork for the stamp. The 44-cent stamp was issued on October 21, 2010, in New York City during the Mega Stamp Show and was printed by Avery Dennison using gravure in pressure-sensitive panes of 20.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSTAMP MEANING \u0026amp; SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAngel with Lute\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e design can symbolize peace, harmony, divine inspiration, hope, spiritual guidance, celebration, and the uplifting power of music. Angels have long played an important role in Christian Christmas imagery, representing heavenly messengers and the proclamation of peace. USPS itself associated the angel with “peace on earth,” while the lute adds themes of harmony and song. Together, the imagery makes this stamp especially meaningful for Christmas cards, religious correspondence, weddings, and other mail celebrating faith, love, and unity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSTAMP SERIES HISTORY:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAngel with Lute\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e stamp was issued by USPS for the 2010 Christmas and holiday mailing season as a traditional religious Christmas design. Although USPS did not assign the issue to a formally named stamp series, it continued the Postal Service’s longstanding tradition of reproducing significant works of religious art on Christmas postage. The design followed earlier Christmas stamps featuring Renaissance and Baroque depictions of the Madonna, Child, and angels, using a historic masterpiece to connect seasonal correspondence with centuries of Christian art and tradition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"OutlineElement Ltr SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Paragraph SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" class=\"TextRun MacChromeBold SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003eGENUINE USPS POSTAGE: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" class=\"TextRun SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003eThese unused vintage postage stamps are perfectly valid for use as current postage for mailing with USPS\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun AdvancedProofingIssueV2Themed SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003eas long as\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eyou use the adequate amount of postage to achieve standard postage rates according to the weight of your mailing.

Herrman designed and art-directed the issue. The set was released in several self-adhesive formats, including panes and booklets.

Together, the four stamps illustrate how varied Santa Claus imagery remained before the familiar modern red-suited figure became dominant.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"OutlineElement Ltr SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Paragraph SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" class=\"TextRun MacChromeBold SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003eGENUINE USPS POSTAGE: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" class=\"TextRun SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003eThese unused vintage postage stamps are perfectly valid for use as current postage for mailing with USPS\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun AdvancedProofingIssueV2Themed SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003eas long as\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eyou use the adequate amount of postage to achieve standard postage rates according to the weight of your mailing.

This stamp features a curly-haired young boy dressed in a festive red coat with white trim, holding a traditional jumping jack toy in one hand and a golden horn in the other. The design was assembled from antique Victorian-era imagery in the John Grossman Collection of Antique Images, combining a child taken from period “scrap” with a snowy village scene adapted from a separate antique postcard. John Grossman and Laura Alders adapted the imagery for postage.

The source image came from an antique postcard published by the Stecher Lithographic Company of Rochester, New York, and postmarked in 1915. John Grossman and Laura Alders adapted the historic image for postage.

The 22-cent stamp was issued on October 30, 1985, in Nazareth, Michigan, and printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing using photogravure.

Over time, the annual lighting ceremony developed into a major seasonal event associated with the presidency, the White House, and the broader celebration known historically as the Pageant of Peace.

Issued at the 5-cent First-Class Mail rate, Scott 1240 helped establish what would become the long-running American tradition of annual Christmas and holiday postage stamps.

Together, these elements create a richly nostalgic Victorian Christmas scene.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTHE FIRST NON-DENOMINATED U.S. STAMPS:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The 1975 Christmas stamps hold an important place in U.S. postal history because they were the first American postage stamps issued without a printed denomination. The Postal Service expected the First-Class Mail rate to increase from 10 cents to 13 cents but did not know exactly when the change would take effect. As a result, both 1975 Christmas designs were printed simply with “US Postage” rather than a numerical value. The increase was delayed, and the stamps were sold and used at the existing 10-cent rate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSTAMP MEANING \u0026amp; SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChristmas Card\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e design can symbolize joy, celebration, generosity, communication, remembrance, and the enduring tradition of reaching out to loved ones during the holiday season.

Gabriel consequently appears frequently in Christmas paintings, church decorations, devotional imagery, greeting cards, and other religious holiday traditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJAN VAN EYCK \u0026amp; NORTHERN RENAISSANCE ART:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Jan van Eyck was one of the most influential painters of the Northern Renaissance.

Adults are predominantly white, with females and younger birds generally showing more extensive dark barring than adult males, which may become nearly pure white with age. Snowy Owls have brilliant yellow eyes, heavily feathered legs and feet, and broad wings adapted to life in cold, open environments. Their diet consists largely of small mammals, particularly lemmings, although they also prey on birds and other available animals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSNOWY OWLS \u0026amp; THE ARCTIC:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Snowy Owls breed primarily on open Arctic tundra, where their pale plumage provides effective camouflage against snow and the bright northern landscape. Unlike many other owl species, Snowy Owls are frequently active during daylight, an important adaptation in Arctic summers when daylight can persist nearly around the clock. Their movements can vary considerably from year to year depending on prey availability, and some winters bring large southward movements known as irruptions, when Snowy Owls appear far beyond their usual northern range.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSNOWY OWLS \u0026amp; ALASKA:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Snowy Owls occur across northern Alaska, particularly in open tundra habitats where they breed and hunt during the Arctic summer.

Polar Bears are highly adapted to life in cold marine environments, with thick insulating fur, a substantial layer of body fat, powerful limbs, and large paws suited for traveling across snow and ice and swimming through frigid water.

Needlepoint and embroidered ornaments continue this tradition by combining personal craftsmanship with seasonal symbolism, making the stamp especially fitting for Christmas correspondence celebrating handmade and traditional holiday style.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFOLK ART \u0026amp; TEXTILE TRADITIONS:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The geometric stitching and handcrafted appearance of the design give the stamp a strong folk-art quality.
