Good morning, Buffalo.

The Allentown community space hosted holiday decorating this weekend and collected nonperishable food donations to help residents in need.

The donations support local help during the season.

The Stony Brook Legendary Lights Display has returned for its 18th season in Lancaster—transforming the neighborhood into a winter wonderland with over 200 houses lit each night from 6 to 10 p.m.; the display also collects donations to help Sleep in Heavenly Peace Buffalo provide beds for kids. The event continues its long charitable tradition by aiming to raise over $100,000 as it lights up the community throughout the season.

The 18th annual Christmasville Fire Truck Parade lit up Main and Central as more than 200 emergency vehicles rolled through Lancaster—drawing a large crowd of local residents.

Hundreds of people gathered on Main and Center Streets Saturday as Santa Claus (a symbol of the season) was welcomed to Hamburg in a Christmas parade that kicked off the town’s holiday season.

Travel Tuesday is growing as airlines, hotels and tour operators offer one-day deals after Thanksgiving — experts say customers should check details carefully to avoid hidden fees or inflated prices.

Shoppers in Buffalo are advised to compare offers before booking to get real savings.

The Festival of Lights returned Nov.

After starting as a nurse's aide at 16, Karen Blount worked as a staff nurse and pediatric nurse practitioner before becoming the leader of Buffalo General Medical Center—she now directs care after more than four decades in health care.

Aaron Rodgers was cleared to start today for Pittsburgh against Buffalo after he broke his wrist on November 16 and missed last week's game—Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Rodgers fully participated in practice on Friday and will play without an injury designation.

The Buffalo Bandits raised their NLL Championship banner on Saturday at KeyBank Center—celebrating their third straight title ahead of their season opener.

Sabres forward Tage Thompson squared off with Devils' Stefan Noesen on Friday to settle lingering differences from a previous incident where an elbow hit knocked Thompson's helmet off; both players fought for about 30 seconds in a game that ended 5-0 in favor of New Jersey.

Thompson said he arranged the bout during warmups — prompting cheers from fans — and both received five-minute major penalties for fighting.

Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott ruled out Dion Dawkins because he has not cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and Spencer Brown due to a right shoulder injury for today's game against the Steelers.

Backup players will step in as the team adjusts its line after a last game that saw quarterback Josh Allen sacked a career-high eight times.
