2023 Snow Globes Forever First Class Postage Stamps

Description:

The new Snow Globes stamps were designed by the renowned artist Gregory Manchess, who employed oil paint to capture the magical essence of Christmas within four distinct scenes. The stamps feature a snowman, Santa Claus perched on a chimney, a magnificent deer, and a Christmas tree.

Snow globes, widely cherished by children and adults, vary in design and purpose. They may be considered miniature works of art, kitschy souvenirs, or symbols of childhood nostalgia. A typical snow globe consists of a transparent container filled with liquid, encompassing a central figure or scene. When shaken, the “flitter,” or technical term for the “snow,” creates a brief storm that enchants the viewer.
