First, today's weather:

Rather cloudy. High: 51, low: 48.

Here are the top stories today in Center Moriches-Eastport:

1. Center Moriches Holiday Parade Of Lights Turns On The Smiles. Over 1,000 locals came and cheered for first responders, the Grinch and ol’ Saint Nick Sunday night at the Center Moriches Fire Department’s holiday parade of lights. From Lake Avenue to Ocean Avenue, firetrucks and ambulances decked out in lights drove down Main St. In between, were marching bands, first responders, decorated floats and the Grinch. The best was perhaps saved for last, as Santa Claus brought up the rear. (Greater Long Island)

3. New County Legislator For Flanders-Riverside Area Under Bitterly Disputed County Redistricting Plan. Residents of Flanders, Riverside and Northampton will find themselves in a new county legislative district next year, if a redistricting plan being advanced by the legislature’s current majority caucus wins final approval. The redistricting plan would move the hamlets in the northwest corner of Southampton Town from Legislative District Two to Legislative District One. LD-02 currently encompasses the entire Town of Southampton, as well as the towns of East Hampton and Shelter Island, and a slice of eastern Brookhaven Town south of the Peconic River.
