HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill.,

-- Sears kicks off the holiday shopping season with exclusive
offers for Shop Your Way members, more shopping conveniences
including In-Vehicle Pickup, and a holiday campaign featuring Santa
and his iconic sleigh.
"Sears first introduced Buy Online Pickup In-Store 14 years ago
and changed the game. We continue to bring new services to our
members that let them shop wherever and however they choose," said
Joelle Maher, President and Chief
Member Officer for Sears. "With so many great holiday gift ideas
from a refrigerator to a sweater to a drill, our members will want
to 'Bring the Sleigh'…and it better be a big one."
Sears thinks the joy of shopping should equal the joy of the
season – and make shopping easier.
