They are already out!
I have ordered mine.
The 70 cent one is, as usual, religious.
The 85 cent one (which I need for my cards to the UK) are the non-religious ones.
To be perfectly honest, this year’s stamps aren’t that wonderful, in my opinion. However, since Italy only do the two stamps each year, it will have to do and I really don’t go for the religious stamps at all.
So, to all you Brits sending your cards back “home”, get yourself to a post office and order some.
I’m going back to the UK before Christmas – can’t beat hand delivering Christmas cards
Ah but I make a point of posting mine in any case – it means people get to have an Italian Christmas stamp
