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.

One of my favorite Christmas memories was being allowed to pick one gift to open on Christmas eve. Now I realize that they always put out gifts that were sure to keep us entertained for the evening and out of their hair:)
my favorite memory was leaving cookies and a glass of milk for Santa before going to bed Christmas Eve.
Trimming the tree each year is my favorite memory. I loved it as a kid, and I still do today.

My fave Christmas memory is something we do every year, which is decorating the Christmas tree. Everyone puts on their special ornaments while we listen to Christmas music, eat Christmas cookies, and drink cocoa. Thanks!

My favorite memories are all in the kitchen. My family would get together a couple days before Christmas and make tamales, and share memories. So much fun and the tamales were always good of course.
I remember eating chinese food with hubby on Christmas because I am a horrible cook

My best Christmas memory was the year I got my dog Jade. She just died in February so this season is going to be very hard. The best present is one that always stays with you and you never get tired of
My favorite Christmas was when every family member was at my Great Grandmothers house

My favorite memory is after Christmas dinner we would play Monopoly or some kind of board game all together. Usually there were six or eight people playing. Then it would be time for dessert.

my favorite memory is walking downstairs on year as a kid and seeing all the x-mas light shine while it was still dark outside. And I remember the enormous pile of presents for the family that filled the living room.

We would leave out cookies and milk for Santa and be so excited when we saw he had eaten some of it.
One of my favorite memories is of my daughter’s first Christmas. We were in a foreign country with no family nearby and it was the tropics! But a Christmas tree and a baby is a precious thing.
My memory is of my family Sitting around our old Aluminum Christmas tree, colour rotor wheel in full rotation, our tree filled with colorful bulbs of glitter and metallic and the Little Manger set underneath the tree in the living room, all the while listening to lovely Christmas songs and talking about Christmas and all.

I remember going to bed on Christmas Eve, and being so excited but so anxious to go to sleep…my brother and I would really struggle to fall asleep as quickly as possible because it would “make Christmas come sooner.” And then the thrill of waking up and yelling to everyone that it was Christmas, to get up to open their presents!!
I remember when my dad was alive and he dressed up like Santa when my kids were pretty little. It was so fun and it’s a nice memory.
