If the US Postal Service stamps are any indication Americans don't send many Christmas cards abroad.
That's right. The only Christmas -- sorry, holiday -- stamps are 37c ones.
Don't get me wrong, Denali/Mount McKinley is a lovely mountain but it has adorned the 80c stamp since the middle of the year 2000 -- all the time I have been in the country. It would be nice to send Christmas cards overseas with an appropriately themed stamp without having to pay 31 cents extra (37 x 3 - 80) for the privilege.
If other civilized countries post offices' can produce stamps for international mail, why not the humble USPS?
