H
Tiffany,
hello,
Boston,
so
Macy's
is
so
happy
to
have
you
guys
here
today.
Thank
you
for
joining
us
for
our
kickoff
to
the
holiday
season.
This
time
of
year
is
so
special
to
us.
It
really
brings
out
the
magic
of
the
holiday
season.
We've
basically
spent
11
years
working
with
the
make-a-wish
Foundation.
In
11
years
we
have
donated
15
million
dollars
to
24
million.
People
have
been
affected
by
that
we
have
a
special
guest
up
here.
H
She
wants
the
mic
so
guys
you
can
help
Macy's
raise
another
1
million
dollars.
All
you
got
to
do
is
when
you
go
back
in
the
store.
There's
a
mailbox
like
this,
and
the
basement
near
the
children's
departments
write
a
nice
letter
to
Santa
Claus,
telling
him
how
good
you
are
this
year
and
for
every
letter
out
there
Macy's
is
going
to
donate
$1
up
to
1
million
dollars
to
help
kids
like
Bethany
with
make-a-wish.
So
really
need
your
help
with
that
and
to
appreciate
that
today.
H
C
That's
right:
every
night,
5,
6
and
7
o'clock.
You

come
see
a
