The Lux Radio Theatre on December 22, 1947 first presented “Miracle On 34th Street”, the classic story of the real Santa Claus who goes to work at Macy’s toy department. It begins on Thanksgiving Day in New York City and the annual Parade given by Macy’s department store is about to commence to herald in the Christmas season. Away from the crowd are two of the store’s public relations staff pleased with the Santa they have employed – the best Santa in Macy’s history.
