On behalf of Patch, I would like to wish Farmingdale residents celebrating the holiday today a Merry Christmas and everyone in the community a happy 2012.
It's , with so many festive events and traditions. But I was most touched by the following stories, which to me embody what the holidays are all about- giving and appreciating. On this Christmas, I hope you'll take the time to read them:

Merry Christmas!
