Postmaster Gives a Holiday Sneak Peek

Oct. 21, four new Holiday Evergreen postage stamps will join the Liberty Bell as Forever Stamps, and will be priced at the current price of 44-cents. When purchased, Forever Stamps are valid forever for one-ounce First-Class letter-size postage – regardless of any future price changes.
Also debuting at Post Offices on Oct. 21 will be this year’s traditional Christmas stamp, entitled, “Angel with Lute.” The stamp features an angel playing a lute from a fresco painted by Melozzo da Forli (1438-1494). The new holiday stamps will be available at Post Offices, online at usps.com/shop, or by calling 800-782-6724.
