The quest for annual Chanukah stamps

Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippor are just a few weeks away and Chanukah is fast approaching. There will not be a new Chanukah stamp this year. This means local post offices will not be getting Chanukah stamps automatically. They will have to order them.

If you want to buy Chanukah stamps this year, now is the time for you to go to your local post office and ask to speak to the person who orders stamp supplies. Tell him/her to order Chanukah stamps now so they will have them in time for the holidays.

The USPS will not issue new Chanukah stamps every year claiming "There is a lack of demand." I believe it is a lack of supply as well. We have to show them that there is a demand.

Please, make sure your local post office orders a supply of Chanukah stamps now.  I make sure my local post office and surrounding post offices have a supply and, I buy some in each of them.
