Spellman Museum of Stamps & Postal History Hosts Holiday Family Day

Decorating Christmas tree ornaments and holiday gifts with stamps from around the world are just two of the fun activities for children and adults at this year’s Holiday Family Day on Saturday, December 4 from noon to 4:00 at the Spellman Museum of Stamps and Postal History on the Regis College campus in Weston.

Visitors will also be able to do Holiday stamp hunts and games, create their own holiday stamp design, see displays of Christmas stamps from the USA and worldwide, make their own Christmas envelopes to send holiday greetings to friends (the Museum pays the postage) and create stamp decorated gift bags.

Children can also write their letters to Santa Claus and post them free in a special Santa, North Pole mailbox. A unique North Pole museum cancellation will be added to all letters sent. And Santa has promised the Museum he will write back.

Admission is free for children. Adults are $8 and Seniors are $5.
Tips about how to start a stamp collection will also be offered and each child will receive a free packet of stamps to take home. Free refreshments will be served.

The museum’s gift shop will also be open and is stocked with great holiday stamp related gifts. The shop is also an official US post office and will be selling current US stamps.

Recently the Museum was selected by the Massachusetts Tourist Bureau as one of the top 1000 best places to visit in the state and Nickelodeon has picked the Spellman as one of the three best museums for children in the Metrowest area.
