Here come the holidays. The Postal Service will issue its Global: Poinsettia Forever stamp Sunday, Aug. 26.
The stamp can be used to mail a 1-ounce letter to any country where First-Class Mail International service is available. The current First-Class Mail 1-ounce international letter rate is $1.15.
The stamp, which also can be used domestically, features a photo of a poinsettia that is taken from above and shows green leaves, red bracts and yellow flowers in the center.
The stamp will be available in panes of 10 at Post Offices and usps.com.
