Despite the fact that Christmas is on Friday, there are still lots of things to go out and do this week. Our arts critics have recommended the best of them, including many holiday-themed events like the closing week of Homo for the Holidays, Stout’s winter solstice beer festival, and the 12th annual Blue Moon Christmas Pageant. See them all below, and, if you still want more great things to do this week, check out our complete Things To Do calendar.

MONDAY
PERFORMANCE
Dina Martina Christmas Show
“You’d think the chubby-older-woman-with-a-hairy-back-and-no-talent-but-thinks-she’s-God’s-gift-to-singing shtick would get old, but it doesn’t, because Grady West, who inhabits her horrible fashion choices, is a world-class artist, a first-rate writer, and a comedy genius.” -Christopher Frizzelle (Daily, through Dec 31)

Homo for the Holidays
“This drag and burlesque gigglefest features a bunch of wacky little holiday-themed skits that our own Dan Savage once called ‘FUCKING GREAT….FUCKING HILARIOUS!'” -Rich Smith (Daily, through Sun)
