Islandia residents  munched on cookies and cupcakes, drank hot cocoa and lit the Christmas tree last Saturday in a ceremony in front of Village Hall.

Two children joined Mayor Allan M. Dorman in the  8th annual lighting of the tree. Santa Claus arrived with the Central Islip and Hauppauge Fire Departments to distribute toys to the good boys and girls, with help from Santa's elves.
