WASHINGTON - The US Post Office unveiled two new Christmas stamps Thursday, and is following on Friday with new stamps to commemorate the Jewish holiday Hanukkah and the African-American celebration Kwanzaa. This year's traditional "Madonna and Child" Christmas stamp features a painting by the 16th century artist Raphael which now hangs in the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore. The Hanukkah stamp features the eight letters Hanukkah on colored fields, representing the eight candles, and the second letter "K'' resembles the toy known as a dreidel. [link]
