This holiday season, Macy’s BELIEVE campaign builds on the great success of last year’s holiday effort to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation®. Macy’s is adding to the spirit of “Believe” with a national Santa Tour, an honorary National Believe Day, a “Yes, Virginia” animated special, and a new TV commercial featuring Queen Latifah.
The nostalgic holiday campaign was inspired by the New York Sun’s famous “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus” editorial from 1897 and includes letter-writing “Believe Stations” in Macy’s stores across the country. For each letter received, Macy’s will donate $1.00 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, up to $1 million.

Our Christmas was always a bit different – Santa actually came to our house every Christmas Eve and handed out gifts one by one and we had to do something to get the gift – even the adults (read a poem, do a little dance, sing etc.). It was soooooo exciting waiting for him.
My best Christmas memory was when my son was 3 years old and we waited for him to wake up Christmas morning and when he woke up and saw the presents under the tree, his expression and excitement was priceless.
My favorite Christmas memory would have to be leaving out cookies and milk for Santa on Christmas Eve with my sister and “finding” the note he left us the next morning with our presents. I miss that sense of innocence and wonder, and looking back it was a very sweet tradition my parents kept up as long as my sister and I continued to “believe.” Thanks!

One Christmas, it snowed like crazy. My mom went outside and got me and my sister a chunk of snow each, then topped it with warm maple syrup. So good! Great memory!
