Good day, neighbors! Dashiell Allen here with a fresh Ditmas Park-Flatbush Daily.

First, today's weather:

Partly sunny and windy. High: 42 Low: 33. It's definitely starting to feel more like winter, there's even a chance of snow on Sunday.

Here are the top stories today in Ditmas Park-Flatbush:

1. An "Upcycled" Christmas Tree will be on display by the Target at Flatbush and Avenue H this holiday season, courtesy of artist Hong Wu. Wu's trees feature the option for onlookers and visitors to leave messages to their community. (Brooklyn Reader)
2. Hundreds of Flatbush community members headed to Kings Theater on Thanksgiving day for its fifth annual Thanksgiving feast. It was attended by local council members. Some attendees said they couldn't travel to visit their family this year because of concerns over COVID, so it was great to be at a gathering. (Pix11)
3. Here's where to go ice skating around New York City. Closest to Ditmas Park and Flatbush is the large rink at the southern end of Prospect Park. (Gothamist)
