Macy's Santa Letters

If you're headed to the mall this week, here's an easy way to get kids excited about giving back this holiday season!

This holiday season, Macy's wants everyone - from the most enthusiastic to the most cynical- to Believe in and embrace the holiday spirit of love and charity. As a parenting site, the Believe project may be of interest to you and your readers.

Writing letters to Santa Claus is an age-old tradition for children all over the world. Macy's is collecting these letters in a special Santa letterbox at all Macy's stores. For each letter received, Macy's will donate $1 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The Believe Meter will measure America's belief, based on our collective spirit – including the amount of letters received and other current events that reflect the season's generosity.

I also wanted to let you know about how you can e-mail Santa and get a response! Just go to the EMAIL SANTA website and follow the prompts.
