A Million Reasons to “Believe” with Macy’s *Giveaway*

Last year I shared about Macy’s Believe Campaign and this year they are at it again! 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.
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.
I think this is a fantastic campaign. But I am wondering… Does someone read all the letters to Santa?
“I did not receive a product for this post. A Gift Card was supplied for giveaway purposes. All opinions are solely my own. Others who may use this product or service may have different opinions.”

ONE winner will receive a $50 dollar Gift Card to Macy’s.

To enter, please visit Macy’s, and in a comment tell us, are you going to have your child join in by sending a letter to Santa?

What a great idea, now if I can get him to sit still long enough to write one.
My children used to write Santa letters. Now it’s the grandchildren who carry on the tradition.

kids need to learn the art of letter writing and what a better way to begin by writing to Santa so will encourage grandchildren to do so.

Our boys are writing their letters today… and we’ll be dropping them at Macy’s tomorrow (when we brave some Black Friday sales at the crack of dawn. YIKES!)
Letter writing is becoming a lost art, but this is the one letter a year every child should write!

No letters to Santa for our family. We celebrate other ways
We’ll do this with the grandchildren.

My children are really too old to believe in Santa Claus, but they still like to pretend that he’s real. They will probably write letters to Santa even though they know the truth.
Yes, but my kid are teenagers, so I will be dropping off my newphews and niece.
It really is a nice idea, but my two sons are way past the Santa stage.
Yes I was planning on letting my children write to santa! Thankyou!
I don’t have children but it is a cute idea!

I don’t have children yet, but I plan on writing a letter to Santa and taking it to Macy’s! We always wrote letters as children and I loved that tradition. Once I do have children, they will do the same thing every year!

If there really is a Santa Claus, I never wanted to “Believe” more than this year!

We are writing our letter this weekend and planning on dropping it off next weekend
no letter to santa, but maybe an email
My daughter saw it and asked me about it. I had no idea what it was, now I do, so yes, she’ll write a letter.
I don’t have kids, but if I did I would have them write a letter.
I’m sure my nieces and nephews will participate.
One is too old, one is too young, and the other is just the right age – yes, he’ll send one in.

Yes, I’ll bring my grand daughter when we’re in the mall.
What a great idea! My children will definitely be sending a letter to Santa
Santa would laugh his bum off if either one of my kids sent a letter to him. My kids are 28 next week and 34.
