We’ve partnered with ★MACY’S for Day 8 of our 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway Extravaganza!!!

macys.com

We’re giving away a $50 gift card for Macy’s in celebration of their Believe Campaign. 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 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, up to $1 million.

For more details, please visit www.macys.com/believe and watch the short commercial below…

Also, on Friday, December 11th, Macy’s will celebrate the first National Believe Day to recognize and reward acts of kindness and generosity from coast to coast. Also that day, CBS will premiere a new original animated special called, “Yes, Virginia.” on Friday, December 11, at 8 p.m. ET.

Visit www.macys.com/believe and go to “Santa’s Post Office” to download and print stationary, activity guides or locate a Macy’s store near you where you can drop off your letter to Santa!
