By Sharon Rosenthal, www.camarillo.macaronikid.com November 18, 2012
Hi Everyone

It's almost Thanksgiving!! Can you believe it? It feels like Halloween just ended. But now its time to celebrate Pilgrim style.  In this issue we have a Thanksgiving craft, a yummy pumpkin recipe and a Thanksgiving game. Please have a great time this week with the kids and your family, celebrating this wonderful family holiday. Wondering what to do with the kids this week click HERE  for some great ideas. 

On Friday starts the busy holiday shopping season and we are joining the shopping fun with our 1st Annual 2012 Holiday Gift Guide. We have some great companies for you to meet, a list of local shopping boutiques and links to all our reviews of toys, books, dvd's, music, and products that we reviewed in 2012. Please explore the site, and be sure and share the information with family and friends. If you would like to get added please email haroldr@macaronikid.com. Holiday Boutique listings are FREE, and we are giving discounts to Camarillo Chamber members and our subscribers.

We had lots of  winners in last weeks contests and you can find the list of winners and  this weeks giveaways HERE.
