Holiday Lightings & Other Fun Stuff

The good thing about living so close to other villages is that you have many options to attend holiday or community events if your schedule conflicts with the celebrations taking place in your own village.  Below is a list of area celebrations kicking off as early as this Saturday in Malverne which sounds like THE place to be for kids this weekend.
