Doris was chosen by the AFDCS to be one of their Court of Honor cachet makers in 1994 to do the cachet for the Christmas stamp that was released in Harmony, Minnesota (site of CPC's 25th anniversary celebration). Several other cachet designs are discussed and illustrated as well. A list of Doris Gold Christmas issues is included.
