Christmas Stamps
Earlier this year, An Post asked the nation what favourite new traditions for Christmas they would most like to see on the new 2018 Christmas Stamp collection. Following a public vote, six beautiful stamp designs were created to capture the magic of an Irish Christmas. The stamp designs include a family watching The Late Late Toy Show, meeting loved ones at the airport, a Christmas dinner with turkey, sprouts and all the trimmings, attending Midnight Mass, visiting the local crib and children waiting for Santa.
There are options on stamp booklets, both containing €1 and 50c stamps to allow for posting at home and abroad. The €19 booklet (one free stamp) and a €5 booklet are available now from all post offices, online at anpost.com/Christmas
