WLUW's Hump Day Dance Party: Christmas Bugaloo
As if there could BE a better name for a Christmas fest, WLUW's Hump Day Dance Party crew will be hosting their Christmas Bugaloo to benefit CHIRP (the Chicago Independent Radio Project). Lord of the Yum-Yum will be recording a live Christmas album sure to delight both you and the booze-scented Santa. Aspic Tines, Cup n’ String, and The Hump Day Dance Party Mobile Unit will also perform. $7 cover. Doors at 9pm at Darkroom (2210 W Chicago Ave)
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians @ Delilah's
Hooray for Santy Claus! The ever-reliable folks at Delilah's invite you over for a screening of the appalling film Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. The film starts at 6:00 PM; the drinking will probably start earlier than that. Hooray! Delilah's: 2771 N. Lincoln. (773) 472-2771.
Music Box Christmas Show
The Music Box Theatre presents its 24th annual Christmas show, featuring the double feature of White Christmas and It's A Wonderful Life.

Tickets are available through Ticketmaster or at the box office during normal operating hours. The Christmas show continues through December 24; see the Music Box Website for full details. Music Box Theatre: 3733 N. Southport. (773) 871-6604.
