I absolutely love Macy’s. I love their store, their merchandise and their parade. I hope you have a chance to see their parade today! And that you got to see the sneak peek on how they make their floats!

Well, as usual, Macy’s has a lot going on to give back to the community. Right now there is Macy’s BELIEVE campaign which builds on the great success of last year’s holiday effort to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation^®. This year, 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. Here is a trailer for the animated “Yes, Virginia.”

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 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, up to $1 million. (If you haven’t read the letter – check it out here: Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.)
