Weekly Update: A Note from Your Publisher 12.28.23

Happy Thursday, welcome to this weekly edition of A Note From Your Publisher! We hope everyone is enjoying the holiday break. We've been stuck inside thanks to the nasty flu virus going around. My daughter just wants to know when she will stop coughing. Hopefully soon she can enjoy her break and her upcoming birthday next week. She's on day 9 so I'm hoping we are on the tail end of it. Other than that we have enjoyed our winter vacation and Christmas.

May the new year bring even more blessings and adventures for you and your family. If you are looking for New Year's Eve or New Year events be sure to check out our guide. Macaroni KID NRV would like to thank you (our readers) for making 2023 an incredible year. We cannot wait to see where 2024 takes us.

Stop by some of our local businesses listed in the shop local guide to see what kind of end of season sales they have going on. Tell them Macaroni KID NRV sent you. Shop Local Gift Shopping & Services
