爆竹声声除旧岁，欢声笑语迎春来。美国在和世界各地的人们一起迎来农历狗年春节之际，还按惯例发行了一枚新的猪年邮票。
美国邮政总局的2019年猪年邮票以鲜艳的桃红色花朵为主题，这是庆祝农历新年的系列邮票的第12枚，也是最后一枚。猪年从2019年2月5日开始，至2020年1月24日结束。
美国邮政总局从1992年起发行农历新年12生肖系列邮票。最近的一套系列邮票于2008年开始发行，以新年的风俗为主题，由年少时从香港移居美国的华人艺术家麦锦鸿绘制。麦锦鸿现在居住在纽约。

People across the United States and around the world will come together this month to celebrate the Lunar New Year with fireworks, parades and lanterns. Americans also will be able to commemorate the holiday each time they mail a letter, with a new postage stamp dedicated to the Year of the Boar.
Bright pink peach blossoms highlight the 2019 Year of the Boar stamp from the U.S. Postal Service®. the 12th and final stamp in the Celebrating Lunar New Year series. The Year of the Boar begins February 5, 2019, and ends on January 24, 2020.
The U.S. Postal Service has been releasing Lunar New Year stamps since 1992, when it began a 12-year series featuring each of the animals associated with the lunar calendar. The most recent series, which focuses on holiday traditions, began in 2008 and is illustrated by Asian-American artist Kam Mak. Mak immigrated to the United States from Hong Kong when he was a child and now lives in New York.
