All eligible full and part-time colleagues across Royal Mail are being sent an early Christmas present of 50 free First Class stamps.

Colleagues will start receiving their allocation of stamps, along with their annual Christmas card from Thursday 7 December.

This year, we are delighted to feature our two winning paintings from the 2017 Christmas Stamp Design Competition. The designs, ‘Santa Claus on his sleigh on a starry night’ by Ted Lewis-Clark, aged 10, from Frome, Somerset, and ‘Snow family’ by nine-year old Arwen Wilson from Dudley, West Midlands, were chosen by HRH The Prince of Wales.

The winning designs were chosen from more than 200,000 entries from children aged four to 11 across the UK in response to the question: ‘What does the Christmas season mean to you?’

If "This year, we are delighted to feature our two winning paintings from the 2017 Christmas Stamp Design Competition" that suggests 25 1st and 25 2nd class stamps not the usual 50 1st.

???

The 1st sentence does say:

Fvck the stamps. Your priority is another job; before this one chews you up.

How eligible do you have to be to get them? There's no explanation as to it.

Probably not, in past years the cut off date was 1 Sep.
