HOLIDAY-THEMED POSTMARKS MAKE GREETING CARDS SPECIAL KEEPSAKES

WASHINGTON, DC - Have your greeting cards postmarked from Bethlehem, Christmas, Nazareth, Rudolph or nearly 100 other holiday-themed communities. These special holiday postmarks tell your friends and loved ones that you "went that extra mile" to make this season's greeting special.

You can get these postmarks without leaving town.
Just follow three easy steps:

Place your stamped, addressed greeting cards in a large envelope or box, labeled "Holiday Greeting Card Re-Mailing."


Address to "Postmaster" of the town where you would like your cards postmarked.


Take it to your local Post Office to be weighed and mailed.


Most cards, if received by the destination Post Offices for postmarking by December 15 will be delivered in time for the Holiday.
