The signs of the holiday season are all over the Hamptons. But one holiday spot is drawing hundreds way out east to East Hampton this time of year, the Christmas Snow Village display at Groundworks @ Hrens.

Last week recipients and supporters alike gathered in Sag Harbor to celebrate "All For The East End" on National Giving Tuesday.

The East End's only state-of-the-art natural history museum, South Fork Natural History Museum and Nature Center, has recently received a grant from an anonymous donor which will support their new after-school South Fork Environmental Learning Education Program.

"Their hard work and commitment to raising funds for our breast health program is impressive," noted Robert Chaloner, Southampton Hospital President & CEO. We're very grateful to have support from these young girls in Troop 1637 and their leaders."

Southampton Village was transformed into a winter wonderland on Saturday, November 29, 2014, as the annual Parade of Lights wrapped around Main Street and culminated with Santa sitting on his sleigh welcoming in the Christmas season.

The Village of Southampton is spreading festive cheer throughout the holiday season with Southampton Country Holiday presents "It's a Wonderful Village."

The East Hampton Historical Society is hosting several holiday happenings throughout December that are sure to leaving you feeling jolly.

Although Santa Claus and his elves are busy getting ready for Christmas Eve, Kris Kringle is making a special stop in the Hamptons.

"SoFo is committed to giving back to the East End community," expressed Frank Quevedo, South Fork Natural History Museum's Executive Director. "And we can't think of a better way to honor our families than by helping ensure that all children enjoy this special holiday season."

Year after year, hundreds of East End residents and visitors come out to Coopers Beach in Southampton Village to take a dip in the frigid Atlantic Ocean while supporting a local Hamptons organization.
