International work-related curiosity

[sally_maria]

Since this is the first year I've been closely involved in the long-standing British tradition of special Christmas stamps (this year's designs), I've been curious to know whether this is a unique thing.

Are there special Christmas stamps where you live? Do people send calendars (this seems to be a tradition among a significant number of British people, but not one I'd actually come across before I started working for a shop that sold them)?

Are there other traditions connected with posting for Christmas?

NZ has Xmas stamps, but this year it also has Hobbit stamps. And coins. And passport stamps. And even a weather forecast.... http://tvnz.co.nz/hobbit-news/hangover-follows-world-premiere-5247744/video?vid=5243599

Thanks for the link, though not as cool as the one we had at Oxonmoot. :-)
