Continuing the tradition of making mail merrier
Mailers can choose from a number of designs to dress up their holiday cards and letters.
OTTAWA – For more than five decades, Canadians have enjoyed the opportunity to dress 
up their December holiday mail with festive stamps. This year, Canada Post continues the tradition – and mailers can choose stamps depicting a variety of seasonal imagery.
One Christmas issue, designed by Vancouver’s Subplot Design Inc., focuses on the story of the Magi, the wise men from the East who are said to have followed a brilliant star to Bethlehem, bearing gifts for a newborn king.
The second holiday issue, Shiny and Bright, was designed and illustrated by Andrew Lewis. Influenced by festive cards of years gone by, the stamps depict classic holiday images of a reindeer (Permanent™ domestic rate), dancers (U.S. rate) and a partridge in a pear tree (international rate), and are sure to bring a touch of nostalgia to 
your holiday mail.
La tradition d’égayer le courrier des Fêtes se poursuit
Plusieurs motifs de timbres s’offrent aux expéditeurs pour orner leurs cartes et leurs lettres des Fêtes.
OTTAWA – Depuis plus de cinq décennies, les Canadiens ont la possibilité d’enjoliver leurs envois de décembre de timbres festifs. Cette année, Postes Canada continue la tradition, et les expéditeurs peuvent choisir des timbres ornés de diverses images de la saison des Fêtes.
Un des timbres de Noël de cette année, conçu par l’entreprise Subplot Design Inc. de 
Vancouver, raconte l’histoire des Mages, ces sages de l’Orient qui auraient suivi une étoile brillante jusqu’à Bethléem pour apporter des présents au roi nouveau-né.
Un deuxième jeu de timbres, Éclat et lumières, a été conçu et illustré par Andrew Lewis. Inspirés par les cartes de Noël d’antan, ces timbres illustrent des images classiques des Fêtes : un renne (timbre Permanent au tarif du régime intérieur), des ballerines (envois à destination des États-Unis) et une perdrix dans un poirier (tarif du régime international). Ils ne manqueront pas d’apporter une touche de nostalgie à vos envois des Fêtes.
