What are You Eating Christmas Eve?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
My family has a long tradition of eating out on Christmas Eve — usually at an El Toro. Our brood of 15 or so orders lots of nachos and enchiladas, drinks our share of beer and often ends the meal singing “Winter Wonderland” loudly (but not off key) until it’s time to go help Santa.
We’ve been creating this holiday mayhem for about 15 years. What restaurant traditions do you share with friends or loved ones on Christmas Eve?

Rock and Give
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
’Tis the season to give and musicians, promoters and club owners are taking part in the holiday philanthropy.
This week, Variety Playhouse hosts live karaoke with Metalsome Inc. to benefit the Atlanta Community Food Bank (Friday, Dec. 14). Sister Hazel’s “12 Days of Christmas” tour, which comes to the Roxy on Thursday, Dec. 13, benefits Toys for Tots.
Smith’s Olde Bar spends weeks on its annual benefit, asking patrons to all shows from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day to bring two cans of food for the Atlanta Community Food Bank. The Star Bar in Little Five Points will hold its 10th annual Toys for Tots benefit this Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 14-15.
There are many more musically inclined charitable events all over town throughout December. Are you involved with one? Plan to help out, or just attend one of these shows? Tell us about it.
