Dec. 16: Wrap It Up, Enter to Win and Become a Fan

Get connected, get your gifts wrapped and participate in Patch contests.

Today, get connected and enter a couple Patch contests for sweet prizes.

1.  With the holidays being as hectic as they are, there's not always enough time to put as much care and effort into wrapping presents as one would like. Recognizing this fact, the Flying Point Foundation for Autism is holding a benefit this Saturday at in Bridgehampton, and also making house calls throughout the season. So get your unwrapped gifts together today and set aside a few bucks for a donation. If you's still like to wrap your own gifts, or you'd like to provide the volunteer wrappers with a particular pattern of paper,  Southampton Patch tells you .

2. @PatchTweet: we're giving away 8 pairs of movie passes, thanks to @moviefone - enter by 12/20 here: http://aol.it/eOrId4
