Christmas is magical. It's true when they say, "It's the most wonderful time of the year." Every place has its claims to fame when it comes to holiday sights and attractions, and they all claim to be "the best." Well, there is one best and it's Christmas on Long Island. Sorry, there's nothing better except maybe Christmas at the North Pole itself.

Gonna be on the lovely island for Christmas this year? Here are just a few things you can do:

1. Multiple Town Tree Lightings

Check out to see when your towns tree lighting ceremony is! It's a fun night out usually filled with Santa, candy canes and hot coco.

2. The Jones Beach Light Show

If you've never been to the Jones Beach Light Show, are you even a Long Islander?

3. Polar Express Trolley Rides

On the east end in Riverhead or Southampton, go on a ride to the “North Pole." It's amazing.

4. Dickens Festival

This is amazing, especially if you love "A Christmas Carol." Charles Dickens' most beloved characters and stories come to life. It's like you've been transported to the 19th century.

5. Breakfast With Santa

At The Glen Cove Mansion, go hang out and eat some eggs with Santa where he will distribute candy canes and even some small toys.

6. Santa's Workshop

Port Jeff is adorable this time of year so walking around the town is enough, but if you go to the Drowned Meadow Cottage you can hang out with Santa and his elves. Talk about magical.

7. Cut Down Your Own Christmas Tree

This is so rare nowadays. Most people just go to Home Depot or a Christmas tree farm and call it a day. Be traditional. Cut down your own tree.

8. Ice Skating

You can do this everywhere and anywhere! It isn't Christmas season without ice skating.

9. Go Into New York City
