The first time the United States experienced a World War holiday season was in 1917. With winter approaching, American men rushed to enlist in the “War to end all wars.”

As Christmas neared, housewives flew flags and rationed meat and bread. Postmasters warned to mail soldiers’ packages early, and sold War Savings stamps. But few U.S. children felt the horrors of war. Military toys, plus soldier and nurse uniforms, were at the top of many children’s lists for Santa that year.

While America’s youth eagerly awaited Christmas Eve, France was enduring some of the most intense fighting of the war. In New York City, kindergarten classes prepared Christmas stockings for French children. These gifts were distributed by the American Committee. The agency delivered approximately 500 stockings to 27 northern France villages that had been destroyed by bombing.

A committee member later recalled that a volunteer had been spotted by an older child as she hung stockings in a children’s shelter. The woman gestured for the boy to be quiet and continued working. On Christmas morning, the boy told the younger children about seeing Santa, wisely describing him as an “old, old man with a long white beard, and he was carrying an American flag.”

In 2013, the U.S. Postal Service® proudly presents A Flag for All Seasons, featuring four different stamp designs. Each stamp shows an American flag, viewed from below, flying from a pole at full staff against a background of trees that evoke one of the four seasons of the year.

Artist Laura Stutzman worked with art director and stamp designer Phil Jordan on this stamp art.
