ANNUAL HOLIDAY FAMILY DAY
SATURDAY DECEMBER 8 NOON TO 4:00
Decorating Christmas tree ornaments, making holiday stamp pins and creating holiday gifts with stamps from around the world are just some of the fun activities for children and adults at this year's Holiday Family Day on Saturday, December 8 from noon to 4:00.
Visitors will also be able to do Holiday stamp hunts and games, create their own holiday stamp designs, see displays of Christmas stamps from around the world, make their own Christmas envelopes and cards to send holiday greetings to friends (the Museum pays the postage), help make a Christmas tree stamp mosaic and create stamp decorated gift bags and tags.
Children can also write their letters to Santa Claus and post them free in a special North Pole mailbox. A unique North Pole cancellation will be added to the letters and Santa has promised the Museum he will write back.
Admission: Adults are $8, Seniors are $5, Children ages 5 to 16 are $3. Members are free. Tips about how to start a stamp collection will also be offered and each child will receive a packet of stamps to take home. Refreshments will be served.
The Museum's gift shop will also be open and is stocked with great holiday stamp related gifts. The shop is also an official US post office and will be selling current US stamps including the colorful new Christmas stamp pictured above.
