The following is a guest post from Lynne Clark. Thank you Lynne for sharing. If you’d like to write a post about someplace you’ve been, send me an email at sue@fieldtripswithsue.com.

You can help the Make-A-Wish Foundation by stopping at any Macy’s to mail your letter to Santa in the Believe Mailbox. For every letter received, Macy’s will donate $1 to the Make A Wish Foundation (up to a $1,000,000). This is our second year mailing our letters to Santa at Macy’s. The first year we went on Christmas Eve and met a wonderful family who thanked us for mailing our letters. They told us how their family had been touched by a wish. They said they write a letter every time they are at the mall. We are adopting this tradition too.

Next to the mailbox is a small table that has postcards ready to complete with your message to Santa. There is also a bowl of Macy’s Make-A-Wish Foundation pins. When you check out the video clip, notice Beatrix (Lynne very adorable daughter) is wearing her pin.
