1. The 43rd Annual Holiday Festival kicks off on Dec. 4 in Stony Brook! The event runs from Noon to 6 p.m. Just so you know, the event is entirely free and features holiday treats, live music, a petting zoo and more! (Stony Brook Village)
   
2. If you want unique items to decorate your home for the holidays, the Three Village Garden Club is hosting a Holiday Greenery Boutique at the Setauket Neighborhood House. Items like wreaths, centerpieces, table tops and more will be on sale on Saturday, Dec. 3, starting at 9 a.m. (Three Village Patch)

4. This is the time of the year most porches are filled with delivery boxes for the holidays. This time also can raise concerns over your item's safety as "porch pirates" are on the lookout for stealing the boxes.
