Dec. 23: Holiday Spirit For All

We know this time of year can be for those who don't celebrate Christmas: long lines at the mall, traffic everywhere and a seemingly nonstop list of yuletide to-dos and tips for a day many Little Neck residents respect but do not partake in.

So today and for the rest of this week, Little Neck Patch will bring holiday cheer to everyone — no matter what your beliefs may be:

1. Burned the holiday ham? Looking for a restaurant to celebrate your own version of the special day? Check back with Little Neck Patch for a list of what's open on Christmas Day.

2. Also later today, look out for our list of goings-on at Alley Pond Environmental Center.

3. In case you missed it: Wednesday seemed to be all about the girls, with word of this close to home and of a basketball squad schooling us all with a lesson of service. 

4. Personal Growth and Relationship training at the Samuel Field Y.  weekly Thursday session will focus on improving communication skills with the goal of enhancing interpersonal relationships. Pre-registration is required.

5. Still believe in miracles? Check out our story about how was brought back from the brink of near-certain failure to eventual unanimous passage in the U.S. Senate.
