Yep, seen it on TV a few times! I like the Lucy part.

Of course, the ad is wrong.....Macy's has NOT been a part of my life!
Never been to a Macy's in my life

i didn't start going to macys until the earlier part of this decade as the stores had been g.fox and then filenes before converting to macys. i went to the store in herald square last month, i was onlt there like 15 min. as i was with a group of people who weren't really interested. but i'd like to go again and really get the chance to explore it.

Ohhh! I really like it too! The closest Macy's we have here is in Dallas.

I love those Macy's ads! Especially the ones with the clips from TV shows and movies that mention "Macy's". Those are awesome and you know they'll be prominently featured in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade this year! I absolutely LOVE the Macy's ad that features "Seinfeld" and "I Love Lucy" as well as "Miracle on 34th St."

The last thing I bought at Macy's was a Superbowl XL shirt! Definitely a collector's item!

I think this commercial was meant to show off Macy's new holiday image and it's no secret that Macy's is America's holiday store and besides having their annual Thanksgiving Day Parade and their 4th Of July fireworks specials there's something about Macy's that keeps it successful during the holiday season and each year Macy's always is known for something new for the holidays. Like for example Macy's introduced the popular Believe In The Magic commercials to go with their holiday slogan Believe and came up with the iconic Believe clock and also came out with the Santa Box in which kids can write up a Christmas list in any Macy's store and drop it in the Santa Box and shoppers made a donation to a charity for every Christmas list in the Santa Box. But as the holidays continue Macy's will continue to not lose it's magic
