The Postal Service dedicated its Snow Globes stamps on at the Stephen C. West Ice Arena in Breckenridge, CO, on Sept. 19.

The collection of four stamps captures the whimsical nature of snow globes.

“You can see why people find them so engaging,” said Sheila Holman, the Postal Service’s marketing vice president, who spoke at the ceremony. “Snow globes are wonder-full.”

In one of the stamps, Santa Claus prepares to climb down a chimney. In another, a snowman wearing a jaunty red-and-white scarf seems to wave. In the third stamp, a reindeer pauses in a snowy forest. And in the fourth stamp, a snow-covered tree decorated with colorful ornaments showcases the festive nature of the winter holiday season.

In each, white flakes drift beneath a dome of glass.

Joining Holman at the ceremony were Gregory Manchess, stamp artist; Eric Mamula, mayor of Breckenridge; Scott Reid, deputy town manager; Jonathan Oetken, winter sports host and master of ceremonies for the event; Matt Dayton, Nordic combined skier who competed in the 2002 Winter Olympics; and Harry Rinker, author of a book about snow globes.

Derry Noyes, an art director for USPS, designed the Snow Globes stamps with original art by Manchess.

The Forever stamps are available in booklets of 20 at Post Offices and usps.com.

Some cybercriminals pose as USPS personnel, using fraudulent emails, texts or phone calls to attack the Postal Service’s network.

The Postal Service is reminding employees and contractors to be aware of cybercriminals impersonating USPS personnel.

These cybercriminals use fraudulent emails (phishing), text messages (smishing) or phone calls (vishing) to carry out their attacks.

To protect yourself and the organization, follow these tips:

• Be suspicious: Always be wary of any email, text message or phone call that requests personal information or urges you to take immediate action.

• Don’t click on links: Avoid clicking on links in unexpected or unsolicited emails or text messages. If you believe the email or text message could be legitimate, look up the individual’s or company’s contact information and reach out to them directly for verification.

• Verify the sender: Be cautious of text messages from unknown numbers or numbers that don’t look like phone numbers. Scammers often use email-to-text technologies to disguise their real phone numbers.

• Don’t reply: If you receive a suspicious email, text message or phone call, don’t reply or respond.

If you believe you are the victim of one of these attacks, call the Cybersecurity Operations Center at 866-877-7247 or send an email to CyberSafe@usps.gov.
