STAMP HISTORY: This connected four-stamp set was issued on October 28, 1982, with the First Day of Issue in Snow, Oklahoma. It belongs to the “Contemporary Christmas” series and was released under the name “Season’s Greetings.” The designs, by artist Dolli Tingle, depict children at play in various winter scenes: sledding, ice skating, building a snowman, and decorating a Christmas tree. The images evoke a cheerful, secular holiday spirit — celebrating the joy and innocence of wintertime play. The se-tenant format—where four different designs are joined together in a block—reinforces the idea of unity among seasonal moments.

Because they were intended for use on winter and holiday mail, these stamps are popular with both postal users and collectors. Over the years, the “Season’s Greetings” block of four has become a well-loved classic among U.S. Christmas stamp issues, both for its warm imagery of children enjoying winter and for its role in the evolution of the Postal Service’s holiday stamp programs.

STAMP MEANING & SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE: The 1982 20-cent “Season’s Greetings” se-tenant set of four postage stamps holds a deeply heartwarming spiritual significance, celebrating the pure, universal joy of togetherness, play, and light that emerges during the winter season. Depicting children sledding, ice skating, building a snowman, and decorating a Christmas tree, these stamps transcend religious boundaries to express the sacredness of simple joy and the spiritual renewal found in community, innocence, and wonder.

At its core, this set symbolizes the spirit of unity and renewal that winter brings. The snow-covered scenes remind us that even in the coldest and darkest times of the year, warmth and light arise through human connection — through laughter, kindness, and shared play. Spiritually, winter has always represented a period of stillness and reflection, when nature rests and the soul gathers strength for rebirth. The images of children playing in the snow capture the miracle of joy in the present moment, the kind of joy that arises not from possessions or achievement, but from the heart’s capacity to delight in life as it is.

Each vignette also carries symbolic depth:

• The child sledding embodies trust and surrender, a reminder of the spiritual courage it takes to let go and flow with life’s momentum.
• The skaters represent grace and balance, teaching that harmony is achieved through movement, rhythm, and attunement with others.
• The snowman builders symbolize creation and collaboration, the divine act of shaping beauty together, even from the humblest materials.
• The children decorating the tree express gratitude and celebration, transforming the ordinary into the sacred through ritual and shared joy.

Together, the four stamps form a meditation on childlike wonder as a doorway to spiritual truth. They remind us that play, laughter, and kindness are holy acts — that through innocence and imagination, we reconnect with the divine essence of being alive. The “Season’s Greetings” set thus becomes more than a holiday issue; it is a visual prayer for peace, community, and the enduring light of love that shines through the heart of winter.
