Were any other American mail-senders dissatisfied with the new Santa and Sleigh stamps? I couldn't stand the white border that went around all four of the designs as a whole, but only around two sides of each stamp when used individually. It looked odd on any envelope that wasn't the exact same white as the border, so I used up what I had of them and ordered the Eid stamps for the rest of my holiday mail. Festive and pretty with sparkly gold ink. I think it was a good decision.

I agree that the Eid stamps are a nicer design. I make my postal clerks smile when I take time choosing my stamps. I ordered the Emancipation ones on-line. I think they're gorgeous typography. The new postcard stamps looks nice, too.
