Believe in Santa? Make A Wish @ Macy's.

Do you believe in Santa Claus? Have you ever written him a letter to speak your wish? This Christmas please do so at Macy's and spread your love and hope to kids with life-threatening medical conditions.

When 8-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon asked the question about the existence of Santa in 1981, she might not know how she had helped remind the world what it meant to believe. When the editor at the New York Sun said "yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus" he might not realize decades later the story would inspire Macy's to partner with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The 2009 Believe campaign successful captures the spirit of holidays and send out messages of goodwill, generosity, optimism, love and hope.

It's a magic - even if you and me are adults we can still believe there is a Santa Claus - "he exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exists." My heart trembles whenever I read the editor's response in 1981.



And reading the stories and looking at the pictures of this year at Macy's microsite http://social.macys.com/believe2009?
More than ever, I want to write a letter addressed to Santa at the North Pole. Go to Macy's and drop it in the love-and-magic-replete mailbox.
