“That’s some pig!” The popular quote from Charlottes Web certainly applies to the latest stamps issued from Canada Post on January 5, 2007. This is the eleventh issue of the twelve issue series and comes from the Chinese tale of the Jade Emperor’s race of animals to name the lunar years.
How do you know if you are a pig person? If you were born in 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995 or 2007. Being born in the year of the pig is not a bad thing, as you are in good company. Others who are born in the year of the pig include Ernest Hemingway, Henry Ford, Lucille Ball, and Alfred Hitchcock.
You can obtain your Lunar New Year stamps from Canada Post in a variety of formats that include Souvenir Sheet, Pane of Twenty-Five Stamps, Uncut Press Sheet of Twelve Souvenir Sheets, First Day Cover of the Souvenir Sheet, and First Day Cover of the Stamp.
