Christmas Mail 2013 - 9

This year's Christmas stamps in Canada were issued on October 22, 2013 and the three-stamp issue features Christmas-themed work in cross-stitch, one of the oldest forms of embroidery.


The first stamp on the left of the sheet features an image of a cross-stitched festive holiday horn. Stamp is in denominations of $0.63, the current rate for standard domestic Lettermail.
The second stamp features an image of a cross-stitched prancing reindeer with a holiday wreath. Stamp is in denominations of $1.10, the current rate for standard letters bound for the U.S.
The third stamp features the quintessential image of the holidays – a decorated evergreen tree. These are in denominations of $1.85, the current rate for standard letters bound for the international destinations other than the U.S..
