Explanation

The first Christmas postage stamp was issued by Canada in 1898. It was a 2-cent stamp featuring a map of the world with the British Empire highlighted in red and the words 'XMAS 1898' inscribed on it. This predated the first US Christmas stamp, which was issued later in 1962. The Canadian stamp was originally issued as a regular stamp but became associated with Christmas.
