From my notebook:

• Port Jefferson Theater Three is hosting an early bird session of the "New Year's LAUGHIN' Eve" on Saturday, Dec. 31, at 6 p.m. Click on the link to check which comedians will hit the stage and to purchase tickets! (Theatre Three)
• They say what is a blessing for some can be a "curse" for others. As the holiday approaches, many people may feel sad and lonely. That can open the windows for depression or suicide. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says cases of suicide are high among Americans aged 10 to 34. Stony Brook professionals give tips for those struggling with mental health during the holidays. (Three Village Patch)
