Happy Thanksgiving & A Holiday Vacation Giveaway!

Plus Make Sure to Read Our QUICK LINKS to Great Holiday Events!

November 26, 2014
Thanksgiving truly marks the beginning of the holiday season - and I'm not talking about the shopping season (though apparently I'm already way behind on that)! Most big holiday attractions are now open - kids can go ice skating, visit with Santa, see a performance of The Nutcracker or a holiday concert - and so much more. I love this time of year just because there are SO many fun things we can do together as a family. And my calendar is filling up quickly too!

This year we're headed to my hometown of New Orleans for a brief Thanksgiving trip. It seems strange not to have done any cooking this year! It's awfully quiet on FACEBOOK - a sure sign people are either traveling or busy in the kitchen.! We're still battling illnesses in this house. My youngest has been the latest victim of a fever, though he's much better today and should be fine by the time we leave town. I'm thankful for that! What a season it has been. I'm very much looking forward to the long break, so we can all rest up and try to get a fresh start for 2015!

Right now, I've just got to get to packing so we can get on the road. And speaking of packing...I tried to pack as much into this edition as possible! Most events are in the calendar section (check out PLAN AHEAD too), but I've also included two QUICK LINKS articles which will help if you're in search of a simple list of holiday events.

This is the last chance to refer your friends, family, neighbors to SVM Macaroni Kid for a chance to win the $1100 swag bag of goodies! Spread the word about Macaroni Kid this holiday season and you might be the winner of one really spectacular prize pack!

And thanks to The Chattanoogan Hotel in Chattanooga, TN, one subscriber is going to win a fabulous vacation for a two night stay, including dinner, brunch (it's AMAZING), and even a spa treatment. Chattanooga is such a great place for families, and here's your chance to win a getaway you can all enjoy. Happy Holidays!

My head is spinning with everything I need to do in the next few hours...so I'm going to wish you a Happpy Thanksgiving and be on my way.  Enjoy this time and keep up with us on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest for updates. Plus don't forget we have some really amazing DISCOUNTS in our STEALS & DEALS article - don't miss your chance to save this holiday season!

CONGRATS also to the winners of last week's giveaways:

I'll be back with a new edition next Thursday - have a save and happy Thanksgiving!
