But first, today's weather:

Sun is mixing with clouds. High: 41, low: 25.

Here are the top four stories today in Patchogue:

1. Patchogue-Medford Public Library is hosting the ‘TIS THE SEASON program for all on Dec. 23. Drop in for holiday music, hot cocoa and decorate cards for families and friends! The fun starts at 1 p.m. and goes until 4 p.m. (Patchogue Patch)
2. If you are looking for a cleaning professional and other house services, why not hire a service in the Patchogue area to support small businesses?

3. CVS and Walgreens pharmacies are limiting the sales of some children’s medication. Walgreens allows the purchase of six pain relief medications over the counter. CVS is selling only two per person. The shortage is due to the supply chain issues caused by the "tripledemic," which consists of the rise of flu, RSV and COVID-19 cases. (LI News12)
4. A teenager from Long Island is fighting a rare disease. Lafora is a condition that affects only eighty people worldwide and consists of severe myoclonus epilepsy episodes.
