Friday:
 · Ah, Christmas Eve: the height of conspicuous consumerism, familial-induced self-loathing, and excessive alcohol consumption. And now, thanks to The Woodsman, pedophilia! Be sure to wear a raincoat to the theater. [Fandango
· The J-Date set gives real human interaction a go tonight at The Ball 2004, billed as the largest Jewish singles event in the nation. Bonus: it s in that trendy Meatpacking District area we ve been hearing so much about! [LMPG]
Saturday:
 · Jewish? Have no family? Hate your family? Makor holds its second annual movies and all-you-can-eat Chinese food celebration. Laughs come courtesy of Borscht Belt comedians Ben Stiller (Zoolander, The Royal Tenenbaums) and Mel Brooks (Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein). [92nd Street Y]
· Finally, a Christmas party not centered around your insane family: the kind folks at Anatomy bring you the Blunted Funk San Francisco Xmas party, with west-coast beats and west-coast beer for all to enjoy. [Rhythmism]
Sunday:
 · Oh, who are we kidding? You're either sleeping off your hangover or spending the day waiting in line to return those god-awful holiday Uggs bestowed upon you by some misinformed cousin.
