A special Santa Claus holiday postmark known worldwide is now available at the post office in Santa Claus, Indiana.
The small southern Indiana town is known worldwide by virtue of its name and the fact that its post office is the only one in the world offering the Santa Claus postmark. It receives more than 400,000 pieces of mail in December — compared to only 13,000 pieces of mail a month during the rest of the year.
The postmark is designed by a local high school student each year. This year’s image was created by Christopher Scherer.
The special picture postmark has been offered every Christmas season since 1983. It’s available now through Christmas Eve for no charge.
