An Post has launched the annual Christmas stamps, and to mark the launch The Irish Catholic has ten prizes of a special Christmas stamp bundle to give away to lucky winners.
The special bundle is priced at €26 and includes the 20-stamp Christmas booklet (valued at €19) with one free stamp and a handy booklet of five international Christmas stamps (valued at €8.50).
The 2020 Christmas stamp collection consists of six stamps illustrated by Liz Rackard and designed by Detail Design Studio and aim to show the importance of keeping people and communities connected while staying apart this year.
The stamps show some new traditions that have become part of ‘living with Covid’ including home baking with the family, online calls with family & friends and a post person checking in with an older person, as well as an angel and a traditional nativity scene.
Christmas Stamp Booklets and pre-paid gift packaging are available in all Post Offices nationwide and online at www.anpost.com/Christmas
