Santa used to stick to shopping malls and parades, but lately he's been exploring new pastures, drinking a wider variety of beverages, and hanging out with wish-havers of all ages (even pets). To help keep track of his whereabouts, we've compiled all of his appearances this month in Seattle. Grownups can knock back some booze with him at Linda's annual Drunk Santa Party and see him in a murder-filled thriller in The View from Santa's Lap, while kids can take photos with him at Easy Street Records and the Volunteer Park Conservatory. See them all below, and find even more seasonal events on our winter holidays calendar.

Linda's annual Drunk Santa get-down promises to make you "have you ring-ring-ring-a-lingin' and ding-ding-ding-a-lingin' until you are no longer dreaming of a white house, just like the one you used to know" with boozy specials, a holiday photo booth, and a cast of characters that includes Drunk Santa, Evil Elf, and the "ball-busting" Nutcracker.

DECEMBER 23

Blood Squad: He Sees You When You're Sleeping
Blood Squad is an improv group that's been around for a decade. You give them a title, and they improvise an entire horror/sci-fi/noir flick on the fly: "No blood, no props, no costumes, no mercy." Their holiday shows are hilarious, and perennial Christmas creepers like Santa, Krampus, and those weird fucking elves seem like newly ripe sources of horror (if not humor) in the post-Weinstein era.
