About This Stamp

The wintry scene of this stamp, featuring a house and trees covered in snow, was intended to represent songwriter Irving Berlin’s "White Christmas." Though the stamp didn’t picture or name Berlin, it was issued in Berlin, New Hampshire, making it the second U.S. stamp to commemorate a living American.
