With the great success the USPS has had with the Holy Family and Magi stamps, I think the USPS may have finally stopped with the Madonna and Child series of Christmas stamps. And, thank God they did too. It was getting a bit boring.
I have mentioned this on previous thread and forums, and I think I have an idea which would sell like crazy for the USPS around Christmas time...
It's time they made a Nativity Scene souvenir sheet!
The sheet needs to be consumer friendly, so we can't have a picture that only has stamps over faces on the sheet. It needs to be one huge se-tenant of stamps that together make up a full nativity scene. I think Christians will eat it up. A lot would buy extras, just so they could frame one.

I like it, but I can imagine the PC crowd would get a bit excited.

They didn't flip out over the Holy Family and Magi stamps. I would fully expect there to still be secular stamps with snowmen and Santa. Even an old world St. Nicholas stamp would be cool.

The USPS have issued Hanukkah and Eid stamps before, which are most definitely religious holidays. I don't see what they can't make a religious Christmas stamp. I know we Christians hijacked the holiday from the pagans, but still throwing a religious stamp out there is well within USPS policy.
