I agree with all that has been said about the large letter price. Its ridiculous. We also get the post later than ever and usually not the same postie, although the ones that I have seen do wear a uniform. I think that I would still post letters as I enjoy receiving them  but the idea for a special Christmas card stamp seems good, although I'm not sure how they would know if it was a Christmas card. Perhaps only one that can be used during the month of December
