Santa lives at Macy’s. We all know that. And visiting Santaland on the eighth floor of Macy’s Harold Square is a magical experience. We all know that Santa means different things to different people, but most of all he represents joy, laughter, love and hope. And when Santa looks likes you, there is an even deeper connection. On a recent visit to Santaland, 4-year-old Willa had a real treat when she met Santa. They talked and laughed and had a jolly good time. I am not sure who enjoyed it more.

A little known Santa secret, if you speak to one of the elves, they may be able to arrange a special visit with a Santa who looks like you if he is not busy at the North Pole.
