The festival of lights begins in a few short days. Be sure to send your Hanukkah cards soon and top off your envelopes with the 2009 United States Postal Service Hanukkah stamp.
According to the USPS, The new 2009 Hanukkah design features a photograph of a menorah with nine lit candles. The menorah was designed by Lisa Regan of the Garden Deva Sculpture Company in Tulsa, OK, and photographed by Ira Wexler of Braddock Heights, MD. Carl T. Herrman of North Las Vegas, NV, was the art director. All 35 million 44 cent First-Class stamps, available in sheets of 20, go on sale tomorrow.
The 2009 Hanukkah stamp is the third U.S. issuance to commemorate the holiday. The Postal Service issued its first Hanukkah stamp, which featured a stylized illustration of a menorah, in 1996. A design featuring an ornate dreidel followed in 2004.
