Headed by Grammy-winning gospel singer Sandi Patty, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra's 83 full-time musicians ring in the holiday season with an evening of classic carols and merry sing-alongs in the historic Riverside Theater. Known for her silvery voice, Gospel Hall of Fame inductee Sandi Patty has won five Grammys and 39 Dove awards during her storied singing career. Her versatile vocal cords jubilantly rock the lyrics of upbeat standards such as "Deck the Halls" and "Let it Snow," and her amazing range sends awe soaring from the notes of favorite hymns and adds an ethereal beauty to "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells."
Throughout the concert, families can sing along to their favorite songs, releasing the pent-up cheer of the holiday season more effectively than an intra-family tinsel fight. Built in 1928, the Riverside Theater sits beside the Milwaukee River as it reflects the twinkling lights of downtown, while inside the auditorium, rich red tapestries and a gilded proscenium arch lend festive flair to the show.

The Groupon Guide to: Origami
Origami, the art of folding paper into figurines, requires dexterity, attention to detail, and the strength to bend paper to your will—though it may seem impossible. If you never got a chance to study origami for four years at Art University, here is a handy guide to some famous origami forms and their meanings:
Form: Flower
Significance: Creating a dull, lifeless version of one of nature’s most vibrant organisms reminds us that fake nature is more sanitary than real nature.
Form: Crane
Significance: The paper crane symbolizes a bird’s innate ability to fly. If everyone made one million origami cranes and dumped them in the North Pole, maybe penguins could remember what a regal flying animal they once were.
Form: Crumpled
Significance: Crumpling paper into a wad and throwing it on the ground will curse you to 17 years of poor SAT scores.
Form: Celebrity Likeness
Significance: Folding paper into the shape of your favorite celebrity’s face signifies their transformation from a two-dimensional to a three-dimensional person, which usually happens after they land a role playing a down-on-their-luck cafeteria worker who dreams of becoming a concert violinist.
