Christmas is just around the corner and you know what that means – it's time to start sending out your holiday cards!
To help get you into the festive spirit, Australia Post has released its new line-up of Christmas stamps for this year's holiday season.
The annual release of Christmas stamps is back, keeping up a tradition that started 65 years ago.
The festive messages on this year's stamps include 'peace', 'joy', and 'noel'.
They perfectly blend in with the holiday season and are sure to bring joy to the hearts of several Aussies.
In one of the stamps, Christmas Island, an island off the north coast of Australia was featured together with some local red crabs welcoming Santa’s reindeer.
Michael Zsolt, the manager in charge of stamps at Australia Post, said: 'Sending and receiving Christmas cards is a very magical experience.'
'Despite the rise of digital communications, we still see plenty of Australians honouring this long-held tradition.'
Australia Post is gearing up for its busiest time of the year. The postal service has revealed its delivery deadlines to ensure that it can handle the holiday rush.
If you’re in the Northern Territory or Western Australia, you should have your presents in the post before December 7.
Presents must be dispatched by December 12 for all other states and territories in order to arrive for Christmas.
The deadline will be extended to December 19 if you're willing to spend a little more for Express Post.
For foreign packages, the deadline is also a little sooner.
Australia Post said in a statement last month that some popular destinations such as the USA, UK, New Zealand, and Canada should be sent by 9 December if shipping with International Express.
The delivery agency said that outside circumstances, including customs delays and international postal disruptions, could still cause parcels to be delivered late.
There you have it, folks! If you want to get that present to your grandkids, nephews, nieces or anyone far away by Christmas, you may need to start thinking about it pretty soon!
