A spray-on Happy Holidays postmark design has been in use throughout the United States from Dec. 1, 2019, through Jan. 4, according to the U.S. Postal Service.
The simple design shows a Christmas wreath with the phrase “Happy Holidays.”
The Dec. 10 example shown here graphically cropped from a cover was applied to the 2017 Barn Swallow forever stamped envelope (Scott U696).
