Don't Forget to Ask for Your Madonna and Child Stamps at the Post Office (PO not advertising them!)

Today if you are purchasing Christmas stamps and want Christian religious Christmas stamps from the USPS, you will have to ask for them. Ask for the Madonna and Child stamps. Apparently the postal service is too embarrassed to hang any posters advertising them in the postal offices (at least in my area}. I would love to see a real uptick in Madonna and Child stamp sales this year because I read that the leftist postal powers that be are thinking of discontinuing this American tradition.

[Chickensoup]

Buy your Madonna and Child stamps today and show the real meaning of Christmas!!

[Tzimisce]

For a minute there I thought you meant "Madonna" the singer.

[Chickensoup]

HORRORS!!!!!!!!

[OK, under 'Holiday items'... but still]

[Izzy Dunne]

Like a virgin.

[Chickensoup]

DOUBLE HORROR!!!

Pity how wonderful things like the concept of Madonna are hijacked by leftist dingleberries.

Madonna is the poster-slut for "sluts."

[Gordongekko909]

Yeah, totally. I was thinking Madonna and Lourdes (pronounced LORD-ez).

[Mayflower Sister]

Actually, I was just there today and they did have a picture up of the stamp with all of the others. I have mady my own sticker that is going on every one of my cards that says:

**It's not just a "holiday",... at our house, it's
CHRISTmas !**

It is very high quality and if anyone would like the file to download and use, just email me.

[Chickensoup]

Glad to hear that they are not relegated to a back-room page on the net!!

I know they offer several different kinds of stamps. I always take the religious one.

I purchased 100 Madonna and Child stamps at my local post office in San Antonio this weekend. There were several posters advertising these stamps along with several other "holiday" flavors.

[Xenalyte]

Wow - never met a Tzimisce in the "flesh"!

(I'm partial to Toreador and Ventrue, myself.)

[Chickensoup]

Are you in a red state or a blue state?

[Chickensoup]

Glad to hear that they are not being ignored in Red state country.

What other Chritian stamps do they have this year? Being protestant, the child is obviously emphasized a lot more than the mother.

Cheers,

The only Christian Stamp I know is the Madonna and Child although I do recall...I think...Nativity stamps in the past.

[Moral Hazard]

Is that the young Madonna or the old Madonna?

[Chickensoup]

It is the TIMELESS MADONNA...AND THE KING OF KINGS!!
