From festive dreams to summer horizons, joy and updates light our way.

By Kimberly Wright - Publisher of College Park Macaroni KID, Decatur Macaroni KID and East Atlanta Macaroni KID December 13, 2025


🎄 Happy Holidays, Good People! 🎄

This truly is my favorite time of year! I love the sparkle of joy, the sense of purpose, and the way children’s laughter fills the air and warms my heart every single day. I lovingly call this magical stretch Holiday Boulevard, from Halloween all the way to Valentine’s. Yes, it is four months long, and yes, I claim every bit of it! Four months of joy? Do not mind if I do, so yes, I do. 

✨ Community News & Dreams Coming True
At our recent Macaroni KID community meeting, the energy was electric! Macaroni KID has so many exciting improvements on the horizon, and I can hardly believe my dreams are becoming reality. Stay tuned because there is so much goodness ahead. This Macaroni KID 2.0 is ready to impress. 

✨ Holiday Boulevard Highlights
This year and season, I planned and hoped for twelve days of giveaways; however, I did not meet that goal, yet I am grateful for every giveaway I achieved. Next year, twelve days will be a must! If you entered, please check your email. Some prizes are still waiting to be claimed. Huge thanks to Horizon Theatre and the Madeline’s Christmas crew, College Football Hall of Fame, Fernbank Museum of Natural History, and The Grove for their generous donations. And do not worry, January brings another round of giveaways, so keep your eyes open on this newsletter for details!

✨ Looking Ahead: Summer Camps
 It may be chilly now, but summer camp season is right around the corner. Our January newsletter will feature an incredible lineup of camps across College Park, Decatur, and East Atlanta. I have leveled up our listings, and I cannot wait for you to explore the variety!

✨ 2026 Advertising Opportunities
 Small businesses and nonprofits, this one’s for you! New advertising rates and packages are here and affordable, impactful, and designed to help your message shine for 2026. Reach out if you would like more info.

✨ A Warm Cup of Thanks
 As I craft these newsletters, a cozy cup of tea, hot chocolate, or coffee keeps me company. If you would like to gift me $5 via Cash App for a warm sip, know that it is deeply appreciated. My Cash App is $TheKimberlyWright.

With Peace, LOVE, and plenty of Macaroni,
