The Postal Service announced the new 2007 Christmas stamp "The Madonna of the Carnation" for Catholics. Also, the USPS came out with the Christmas stamps commemorating the Muslim holiday of EID (Sep 28). Plus, USPS will release stamps recognizing Kwanzaa and Hanukkah (Oct 26). And for those in the "none of the above" category, the Holiday Knits stamps series will be available as of today.
I commend the Postal Service for its political correctness. However, as a Christian that believes in Jesus Christ, where is the Christmas stamp to represent the Christian belief?
Has our country moved so far away from its Christian foundation that we must now ask "where is our representation"?

What? Cathlolics arent Christians?!Yes, but not all Christians are Catholics.
I would like to see the Post Office 'mix it up a bit'. Maybe with a Nativity scene, shepherds on the hill, the star - something besides the Madonna and child or some 'secular' thing.

That makes this something like Holy Year 1990 to Holy Year 1977.
I am NOT living through the Eighties again!!!

I think a non image would be best when I stated I desired a Jesus stamp ( I meant I would like the stamp to simply read “Jesus” not a picture.)

Catholics are Christians.

That picture for the stamp will be entitled ‘Celebrating the Decadence of Society’.

You stated it better than my awkward attempt. “All Christians aren’t Catholics.” Thank you.

I knew that Jesus was not born on December 25th. I've always heard that it was probably in the spring time, as that was when shepherds would have been tending their flocks at night (lamb birthing season). From what I had heard, the early Christians did begin celebrating the birth at the same time as a pagan festival, as to not be caught as practicing Christians.

Emperor Constantine the first pontiff of the roman church codified paganism
into the newly created roman church by ordering the end of Pesach and the
introduction of the pagan celebration of Easter at the Council of Nicea. Constantine also ordered the creation and celebration of "Christmas"
on the pagan feast of Mithras on December 25th.
Can Christmas & Easter Be Holy?
