Macy's Believe campaign and $25 Gift Card Giveaway- 2 winners!

One of my fondest memories growing up was writing to Santa what I wanted for Christmas. I spent a lot of time carefully composing my Christmas list and waiting until Christmas morning. To this day, I still have trouble sleeping on Christmas Eve. It is just so magical. Christmas is my favorite holiday by far. I love the traditions and the togetherness and the whole idea of Christmas. I am happy to share with you Macy’s newest campaign, Believe, 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.

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 are not familiar with Make-A-Wish Foundation they help children with medical problems and critical illnesses by granting their wishes. It is a wonderful foundation with a great cause. I invite you all to gather with your children and sit down with a cup of hot chocolate and write a letter for each of your children to Santa. Even if they can’t write you can help. Santa won’t mind. Use this opportunity to help other children’s dreams come true by bonding with your children and mailing your letters to Santa at your local Macy’s. You can share with your children this little secret. If you mail your letter to Santa at Macy’s no stamp is required because Santa has a special delivery elf that goes and picks up the letters for him.

For more information please visit Macy's Believe Website.

Thank you to Macy's for providing the the gift cards for the giveaway. I received nothing for this post.

Macy's gift card giveaway!

I really like shopping at Macy’s, especially when they have great sales. I got a Panini Grill for $20 there and I love it. It is great for making Cuban sandwiches. I really am impressed with all of the charitable things that Macy’s does as well.

Right now they are taking part in Coming Together, Cooking for a Cause. The project is aimed to feed 10 million people that are plagued with hunger. Macy's is working with Feed America on this campaign. I think this is a wonderful cause. I think that everyone should help.

Here is how YOU can help:

1. Host a Dinner Party. Get a group of your friends and family together and enjoy a special meal. Instead of the normal hostess gift of wine why not suggest everyone to donate. Macy’s will match you dollar for dollar. You can find delicious recipes and party planning tools here.You can even send the invitations from the site. It is really simple and such a great cause.

2. You can give. Just go to your local Macy's and donate some money right at the cash register. You would be surprised to find out that one dollar will feed SEVEN people. A dollar really isn’t much. A dollar gets you a candy bar at the gas station. That one dollar would fill seven people’s stomachs with food.

3. Shop! On October 17th 2009, When Macy's hosts a national Shop For A Cause day you can go to your local Macy’s and spend $5 on a ticket for special savings that day. A portion of the ticket sales will go to Feed America. Not only is it a great cause but, you could really save some money and help those in need. It is a win win situation. It would be great if there was something big you had your eye on.

I am going to donate a few dollars the next time I go to Macy’s to help.

To help spread the word about Coming Together, Cooking For A Cause, I have a $25 Macy’s Gift card to giveaway to one lucky reader.

Mandatory Entry: Please tell me how you are going to help this cause.
