100 Forever Stamps 2012 USPS First-Class Santa and Sleigh 2012 Stamp 5 Books (20PCS/Book)

On October 11, 2012, in New York, NY, at the Mega Stamp Show, the Postal Service will issue the Santa and Sleigh First-Class Mail stamps (Forever stamp, priced at 45 cents) in four designs in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) booklet of 20 stamps.

The stamps will go on sale nationwide October 11, 2012.

The U.S. Postal Service’s holiday stamps for 2012 fea­ture a “classic” image of Santa and his reindeer circling around snow-covered rooftops. The scene is composed of four different stamp designs in two rows of two stamps each. Art director Howard E. Paine worked with illustrations by Paul Rogers in creating these gems. And this year, Operation Santa observes its 100th anniversary! Designed to make sure Santa visits children who might not otherwise have any gifts at Christmas, postal employees and citizens may register at any participating U.S. Post Office and read letters to Santa from participating boys and girls, then select a letter and provide gifts for the writer.
