Happy Turkey Day!

By Darla Winstead - Publisher of Macaroni Kid Annapolis November 25, 2022

Hi Friends,

Happy Turkey Day to the Macaroni KID Annapolis community. My wish for you is that you are with ones you love, have yummy food to share, and have some time to relax and enjoy the small but meaningful moments. Don't forget to take pictures.


With Thanksgiving almost a memory, there are many notable days during the upcoming week.  

  • Black Thursday - The day retailers make a profit for the year, they hope.
  • Small Biz Saturday - The day we support local businesses that add uniqueness, create jobs, and pay taxes in our community.  
  • Artist Sunday - The day we support local artists and purchase original items to give as gifts. 
  • Cyber Monday - The day many retailers offer extraordinarily good discounts.  
  • Giving Tuesday - The day we donate money (any amount you can) to support organizations that care for those in our community that need help.
