Macy's Holiday Spirit
Macy's, as part of its "Believe" campaign, recently partnered with Make-A-Wish of Massachusetts to provide these Boston girls with a luggage set and wardrobe for a trip to visit relatives in the Caribbean. Shown here is Macy's GM and newly elected BID Director Craig Davis showcasing the clothes.
