Hello, MacKid Readers!

Well, we survived last weekend's birthday extravaganza and my kiddo is officially 9 years old. I swear that I just gave birth to her yesterday, but, somehow, here we are: her last year in the single digits!

Now that the birthday festivities have ended, I can shift my focus to Christmas. I still have more gifts to buy, presents to wrap, and more cookies to bake! Are we sure Christmas is less than two weeks away?

There’s quite a bit of fun in this week’s newsletter. First, if you didn’t see it on social media, I’m working with Santa Claus himself to help him deliver letters to kiddos on the Nice List! Fill out a quick form and in a few minutes, you’ll have a personalized letter, direct from the North Pole!

If you’re feeling crafty, there’s a fun (and FREE) collection of Christmas printables, including treat bag toppers, banners, stickers and more! 

And, if you’re still in the throes of Christmas shopping (like yours truly), I’ve included a great article featuring 28 Experience Gift Ideas! You’ll also find a fun article about clever ways to give the gift of money – and then, where to hide all of those gifts so that your littles won’t find them!

As for events and activites, the calendar is filled up with holiday fun! Tomorrow is Downtown Irwin’s Holiday Open House, and Saturday is Norwin’s annual Candy Cane Castle, as well as Breakfast with Santa at the Delmont VFD. Check out this week’s picks below for more family-friendly fun!

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--and be sure to watch for deer(Sorry, couldn't resist.)
