Christmasville on Long Island

The Christmasville House!
Chris Buckley usually starts decorating in the middle of October to have it all ready for Thanksgiving night. It takes him 4-6 hours a day during the week and all of the weekends to plan, setup and wire all of the decorations. During the holiday season we collect donations for Angela’s House and last year we raised more than $1,800.00 and would like to thank all of Long Island for all of your support. Chris is responsible for everything. He has such dedication and that holiday spirit to do all of this. He says “Seeing a kid’s face light up with excitement and joy is such a phenomenal feeling”. Our Christmas display is on everyday between 5:00-11:00pm from Thanksgiving night to the first Saturday after New Years.

On December 13th, Santa made an early stop at the Christmasville house. Visitors took photos with Santa.
The new favorite decorations of 2008 is the brand new computer controlled Christmas mega-tree and the New Years Time Square Building.

Nick does volunteer work at Angela's House

Nick wanted to help at Angela's House. He was told there was some work that needed to be done around the house. Nick happily said he would love to help. He spent hours helping at the house. He did work that usually would take a group of peolpe to do. All by himself , he moved wood chips from the side of the house and mocved them to the back to the playground area. Bob Policastro the executive director said he was perfect volunteer. He was extremely responsible and very very hard working. Nick is a great example of a good young man. Bob could not believe he moved the pile of wood chips all by himself. What a great kid. The renovations to the playground area is now all complete.
