The holiday memories children treasure often begin with simple traditions: decorating a tree, making cookies, sipping hot chocolate, and choosing a gift for someone they love.
In this episode of People in the Know, Margi Kyle welcomes Melissa Cuff, founder of The Merry Magic Project, to share how her idea grew into a community effort helping Lake Norman families create those special moments.
Melissa explains how donated trees, decorations, toys, and hands-on activities come together for a festive experience where families can prepare for the holidays and children can shop for their loved ones using “North Pole bucks.”
They also discuss the November 15 event at Magnolia Woods in Huntersville and opportunities to donate, volunteer, or apply for assistance. It’s a heartwarming conversation about neighbors helping neighbors—and making holiday magic close to home.
People in the Know with Margi Kyle shines a spotlight on the people making a difference across Lake Norman. Through engaging conversations and personal stories, Margi introduces viewers to local leaders, business owners, entrepreneurs, and community changemakers who are shaping the place we call home. Each episode offers inspiring insights, meaningful connections, and a closer look at the people behind the headlines.
