Make Your Holiday Letters Shine with Christmas Stamps and Cancellations Every year millions of people send Christmas letters to friends and family. While most people enjoy sending and receiving cards and letters, there is a vocal contingent of people who think form letters are too impersonal and grimace each time they see one in the mail. If you’d like people to smile instead of groan when they see your Christmas letter in the mail, here are some tips for adding character to your holiday letter. To spice up the outside of your envelope, consider getting a Christmas cancellations from one of many cities with Christmas-y names. You can get beautiful Christmas postmarks from cities with names such as Nazareth, PA, Santa Claus, IN, or North Pole, AK . Simply stamp and address your Christmas letters as you normally would and then put them in a larger envelope and send them to the postmaster of the city from which you want to get the cancellation. Just write “Christmas cancellation” on the outside of the envelope, and the postal employees will open your outer envelope, take out the sealed envelopes inside, apply the special holiday cancellation stamp and send them on their merry way. To increase the fun of these holiday postmarks, you can also add Christmas stamps to the envelope. Each year the U.S. Postal Service issues new holiday designs, which you can purchase at your local post office. Or you can create your own official U.S. postage through one of the sites that has partnered with the post office to allow users to create their own designs. If you’d like to create your own design, visit PhotoStamps.com or Zazzle.com to get started. Zazzle also lets you shop for designs created by other users. At either site, you’ll pay a little more to get custom stamps, but you’ll have a unique addition to your Christmas letter to add some pizzazz.
