From noon onward, hundreds of Santa clones will stumble merrily to six bars—including <a href=\"http://www.thebarbelowchicago.com/\">Bar Below</a> and <a href=\"http://www.celticcrossingschicago.com/\">Celtic Crossing</a>—with photo stops in front of the <a href=\"http://www.artic.edu/\">Art Institute</a> and <a href=\"http://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/dca/supp_info/millennium_park.html\">Millennium Park’s</a> Cloud Gate. (<em>520 S. Michigan Avenue. <em>Saturday, December 7, at noon. Admission: <em>$10 in advance/$15 at door</em></em>.</em>)\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"http://www.delilahschicago.com/2013/12/07/\">15th Annual Christmas &amp; Winter Beer Tasting</a> at <a href=\"http://www.delilahschicago.com/\">Delilah’s</a></strong><em>\r\n</em>\r\n\r\nWith probably the largest <a href=\"http://www.delilahschicago.com/whiskey/\">whiskey</a> selection in Chicago (more than 600 varieties at last count), it’s no wonder people flock to this Lincoln Park punk bar to warm up. Delilah’s holiday party, however, spotlights speciality beer—including winter vintages from <a href=\"http://www.anchorbrewing.com/\">Anchor</a> and King &amp; Barnes as well as holiday brews from <a href=\"http://www.3floyds.com/\">Three Floyds</a> and <a href=\"http://www.lakefrontbrewery.com/\">Lakefront</a> breweries. (<em>2771 N. Lincoln Avenue. </em><em>Saturday, December 7, from noon to 5 p.m. Admission: <em>$20 for 20 tasting tickets.</em></em>)\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"http://cornservatory.org/on-stage/holly-daze/\">\"Happy Holly-daze: A Drinking Game Performance\"</a></strong><strong> </strong><strong>at</strong><strong> </strong><strong><a href=\"http://cornservatory.org/\">Cornservatory</a> </strong>\r\n\r\nImprov theater <a href=\"http://cornservatory.org/about/\">Corn Productions</a> is known for hosting rowdy late-night BYOB drinking games, so it’s no surprise to see them mixing alcohol, wit, and seasonal debauchery. You bring your poison of choice, and their team of comedy gladiators takes care of the rest. (<em>4210 N. Lincoln Avenue. <em>8 p.m. Thursday–Saturday from December 12 to December 28. Tickets: <em>$7 on Thursday; $15 on Friday and Saturday.</em></em></em>)\r\n\r\n<strong style=\"color: #4db054; font-size: 1.5em;\"><strong>For the Theater-goers Who Don’t Blush</strong></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"http://oldjewstellingjokesonstage.com/home/\">\"Old Jews Telling Jokes\"</a> at <a href=\"http://www.theroyalgeorgetheatre.com/\">Royal George Theatre</a></strong><em>\r\n</em>\r\n\r\nIt’s not <em>quite</em> a holiday show, but if you’re missing your zaide’s wicked sense of humor this Hanukkah, then this five-actor revue just might fill the void. But be warned: creators Peter Gethers and Daniel Okrent promise to reinvent the classic jokes, so don’t roll your eyes until you hear the punchline. (<em>641 N. Halsted Street. <em>Through February 16; view the <a href=\"http://www.ticketmaster.com/Old-Jews-Telling-Jokes-tickets/artist/1828104\">full schedule</a>. <em>Tickets: starting at $45.</em></em></em>)\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"https://www.gorillatango.com/cgi-bin/public/gttv2.cgi?location_number=2&amp;show_id=1114\">\"A Sack Full of Coal\"</a> at </strong><strong><a href=\"http://www.gorillatango.com/chicago/contact.htm\">Gorilla Tango Theatre</a></strong><em>\r\n</em>\r\n\r\nThough this Bucktown theater is mostly known for mixing burlesque with geek-culture satire, <em>A Sack Full of Coal</em> leans more heavily on the satire, mocking the holiday season’s mix of good will and consumerism. The show also shines a spotlight on the often-overlooked Christmas demon Krampus, who is said to punish naughty children by spiriting them away in a burlap sack. (<em>1919 N. Milwaukee Avenue. <em>Every Saturday at 7:30 p.m. through December 14. Tickets: $15.</em></em>)\r\n\r\n<strong style=\"color: #4db054; font-size: 1.5em;\"><strong>For the Audience Members Who’d Rather Participate</strong></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"http://www.schubas.com/Shows/12-18-2013+LH+and+ST+Holiday+Party\">Live Band Karaoke</a> at Schubas</strong>\r\n\r\nBuying multiple craft brews won’t just soften your inhibitions for holiday-themed <a href=\"http://www.livebandkaraoke.com/\">live band karaoke</a>—it will also keep kids warm this winter. Proceeds from the bar go directly to <a href=\"http://coatangels.org/\">Coat Angels</a>, a nonprofit that donates warm outerwear to children from low-income homes. (<em>3159 N. Southport Avenue. <em>Wednesday, December 18, at 8 p.m. Admission: <em>free.</em></em></em>)\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"http://theroyalgeorgetheatre.com/shows.php?s=2\">\"Christmas Bingo: It's a Ho-Ho-Holy Night\"</a> at <a href=\"http://www.theroyalgeorgetheatre.com/\">Royal George Theatre</a></strong><em>\r\n</em>\r\n\r\nThe \"sisters\" behind <em>Late Night Catechism</em> put their own spin on the history of Christmas with an interactive lesson. The audience plays along with bingo cards for the chance to win prizes and (hopefully) not be shamed in front of the entire class. (<em>1641 N. Halsted St. Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. through January 5. Tickets: $38.95.</em>)\r\n\r\n<strong style=\"color: #4db054; font-size: 1.5em;\"><strong>For the Truly Debauched</strong></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"http://www.citywinery.com/chicago/tickets/a-john-waters-christmas-live-comedy-show-12-1-1.html\">\"A John Waters Christmas\"</a> at </strong><strong><a href=\"http://www.citywinery.com/chicago/\">City Winery</a></strong><em>\r\n</em>\r\n\r\nIf the holiday season ramps up your desire for debaucherous camp, then you owe it to yourself to see the King of Filth hold court during a smutty, Christmas-themed one-man monologue. With the noble goal of putting “X back into X-mas,” the legendary filmmaker and author tackles subversive topics ranging from perverted gifts to holiday horror stories. (<em>1200 W. Randolph Street. <em>Saturday, December 1, at 8 p.m. <em>Tickets: starting at $65.</em></em></em>)\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"http://vaudezilla.com/chicago_burlesque_shows.html\">Vaudezilla Craft Fair</a> at Vaudezilla Studio</strong>\r\n\r\nBurlesque troupe <a href=\"http://vaudezilla.com/\">Vaudezilla</a> puts a brassy spin on traditional craft fairs with a showgirl-themed array of vintage and handmade pin-up crafts and clothing. Decadent sweets from <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/ThreeMomsBakery\">Three Moms Bakery</a> will be on display among the assortment of lingerie and bombshell jewelry from glamorous vendors such as <a href=\"http://www.etsy.com/shop/anniesredhots\">Annie’s Red Hots</a> and <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Acidic-Housewife/272901809395454\">Acidic Housewife</a>.
