Here is a scan of the entire sheet of 54 of the 1976 Christmas seal. All of them contain the Red Cross Tuberculosis symbol, but only a few are actually inscribed "Christmas 1976". Those in the bottom row also say "American Lung Association".
John, that is not the Red Cross symbol. That is the symbol for Tuberculosis - the Red Cross does not do their fundraising through Christmas seals as far as I know. That is a pretty sheet though!
I think the cross is called the Cross of Loraine and has be yhe Am. Lung Assn. for as long as I can remember, and I'm a geezer, so that is a long time.

Not any more, but the earliest Christmas Seals in the U.S.(1907–1919, Scott #WX1–WX25) were issued by the American Red Cross and featured the Red Cross symbol.
