Remember way back when the Phillies were playing the Dodgers and we pointed out in the morning news roundup that MLB.com blew it and published a link to a story which had the Dodgers beating the Phillies 4-3 to tie the series at two games apiece? Well, the Inquirer ran a three-quarters page Macy's ad on the back page of the A section which says "CONGRATULATIONS PHILLIES! Back-to-Back Champs."

Happy holidays, everyone. And if you're out and about in Center City today, do catch the show at Macy's. It starts every hour, on the hour.

There's something really magical about the Dickens Christmas Village at Macy's—even if it really is dated. (We do hope you have a better request for Santa than a new sweater, though.)

Oprah’s said it. The helpful Victoria Secret clerks say it. Our great-aunt Holly used to say it all the time: a well-fitting bra makes the woman. Today you can acquire said well-fitting brassiere and help raise money for breast cancer research at the same time at Fit for the Cure. Wacoal certified fitters will be on hand in the lingerie department at Macy’s Center City today from 11AM-5PM; for every woman who participates in a fitting of a Wacoal or DKNY bra, they will donate $2 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. For every Wacoal or DKNY bra purchased, they will donate an additional $2. Unfortunately it does specify “every woman;” we were kind of hoping to head over with some guys and guilt them into trying something on “for the cause.” Oh, well, have to save that for a Saturday night at home…

5. After kidnapping her two children, Britney Spears goes on the lam before being finally caught in Old City, Philadelphia, attempting to stuff her sons into the Liberty Bell. Seems she thought it was a ride of some sort.

Paris Hilton, former celebutante/party girl/homemade video star and now alcoholic elephant advocate (thanks to Jim, Ross, and Sarah for that one) is releasing a new perfume called CAN CAN. (Get it? Because that's something they do in Paris. But then, so is this.) To celebrate, the formerly constipated jailbird will be at Macy's Center City today – and you can meet her! All you have to do is be one of the first 200...

Protest over national vs. regional chains, the never-ending debate over the place of cars and bicycles in our metropolises, professional sports scandals, remembering a solemn day, and being issued a search warrant - it all happened across our sites this week!

All across the Ist-A-Verse (or at least the American parts thereof), writers and editors are in the midst of enjoying their three-day weekend. But after the week we've all had, we feel like the break is not only needed, but deserved. Just look at everything we've been doing!

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets.

In this virtual world of ours, it's become really easy to forget common courtesy sometimes. The handwritten letter is practically a thing of the past, and thank-you notes are about to make their exit, as well. Pity, really, because people like to know that they're loved and that you appreciate the nice things they do for you.

One of the things that saddened us about the closing of Lord and Taylor was the prospect that those lights would come down and we wouldn't be able to walk through on a weekday afternoon and see how happy they made little kids. Fortunately, Macy's saved the lights. And here's the (grainy) proof.

On a recent trip to the allergist, Elite -ist was informed of something quite shocking: a dog allergy. But Elite -ist grew up with dogs! Elite -ist has never had a bad reaction around dogs! Besides...just look at the picture. How could you be allergic to something that adorable?

We have a couple announcements for the Style Devotees among you.
