Jumping Reindeer
The 1999 Holiday Contemporary stamp issued by the United States Postal Service features a stylized rendition of a leaping deer. Artist Tom Nikosey created colorful stamps. He based the design on antique metal molds used by printers in the 1930s.
The U.S. Postal Service issued its first Christmas stamp on November 1, 1962. High demand for the issue depleted the Bureau of Engraving and Printing’s stock of the correct size paper for this four-cent stamp. The first Christmas se-tenant, issued in 1964, shows holly, mistletoe, a poinsettia, and a sprig of pine.
