Christmas Stamps

The 2026 Christmas Stamps from the Isle of Man Post Office were created in collaboration with Manx artist Felicity Wood in celebration of the 2026 Blein ny Gaelgey (Year of the Manx Language). 

Kegeesh Ommidjagh – Foolish Fortnight - is traditional Manx two-week festive holiday period that began on the shortest day of the year (Black Thomas’ Eve, around 21st December) and continued until Twelfth Night (Old Christmas Day, 6th January). During this special time, only essential work was carried out, and the Island paused to enjoy many parties, gatherings, and celebrations.

Order them from our postal shop, at local post offices, or through our convenient kiosks.
