A Visit From St. Nick 2021 Forever First Class Postage Stamps

Four stamps that run in sequence rather than sitting as variations. The first has Santa about to climb into a rooftop chimney. The second shows his boots dangling over the hearth on the way down. The third is a wink, close up. The fourth has him back on the roof with the reindeer, moving on to the next house. Read across the booklet it tells the story from the poem it is named for, which is unusual - most Christmas issues give you four separate images and leave it there.

Sold in booklets of 20, and the sequence is part of the appeal for anyone sending cards to children: four envelopes going to the same family can carry four consecutive scenes. Beyond that it is a standard Christmas card stamp, warm and traditional rather than graphic. Because it is a Forever stamp, anything left over in January keeps its full value - one ounce of first-class mail at the current 82¢ rate, whenever you use it.
