Hello, MacKid Subscribers!
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends! And, if you braved the crowds and went holiday shopping, I hope you found some excellent deals--and were able to visit some of our awesome local businesses!
We kept it low-key the entire Thanksgiving weekend. We decorated our tree, put up our outside lights and pretty much turned the remainder of our house into Christmas Town. When it comes to Christmas, we channel Buddy the Elf—the more, the better! It’s the most wonderful time of the year, after all! Who’s with me?
Speaking of elves, our Elf on the Shelf returned on Thanksgiving Day. If you partake in the Christmas elf tradition, you’ll find some elfishly fun activities, printables and ideas in this week’s newsletter (and on the website)!
A few quick notes for you: This weekend is packed with all types of holiday events. From crafting events to story times to community celebrations, you’re sure to find something fun for your whole family. In this week’s newsletter, I list my Top 10 picks for the weekend—check them out!
This Friday (Nov. 30) also marks the LAST DAY you can enter to win the $250 Target giveaway! If you’re subscribed to this newsletter, that means you’re automatically entered! And don’t forget to enter the other big MacKid giveaway, worth $900 in prizes!
If you missed last week's newsletter amongst all of the holiday mayhem, you may not have seen the article I posted, "10 Ways to Give Back to Your Community This Season." I'm sharing it again in this week's newsletter in case you're looking for family-friendly ways to volunteer in Westmoreland County this season (and beyond).
Finally, if you're looking for a unique gift idea for the little chefs in your life, check out the special offer from Raddish in this week's newsletter, which includes a special discount code for MacKid readers!
Don't forget: If you have a family friendly event you’d like to add to our calendar, don’t forget that you can submit your events here! And you can email me anytime at jenniferbrozak@macaronikid.com.
Have a great weekend!
