Holiday

Before putting your live tree out for the trash collection or hauling it to the dump, consider bringing it over to the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center in Hampton Bays.

Saunders & Associates usually collects nonperishable goods during the holidays, but this year raised money for local food pantries instead.

Every purchase made through the inaugural Hamptons Holiday Shop, running through December 31, delivers a double dose of good—helping East End businesses stay afloat during the pandemic and supporting the Stony Brook Southampton Hospital’s mission to protect and care for this community.

The most wonderful time of the year can change in a heartbeat, say fire officials and firefighter organizations, who sound warning bells in an effort to ward off potential disasters.

There are those who put up artificial Christmas trees and those who won’t settle for anything less than the smell of a freshly cut tree in their living room. There is, however, a third option—a live Christmas tree.

More people than ever will be spending the holidays on the East End this year, and that means dressing up Hamptons homes more than ever for the season.
