Four things to do around Atlanta this weekend, Nov. 21 & 22:
1. FEATURED
Indulge in "The Santaland Diaries" tonight at Horizon Theatre, an award-winning adult comedy based on David Sedaris' accounts as a full-time elf at Macy's. General admission is $30 and the show runs from Nov.20-Dec.31. [Is Rudolph more your speed? He's still around too at the Center for Puppetry Arts.]
2. FREE & CHEAP
Enter a galaxy far, far away as Emory University Symphony Orchestra channels its inner Max Rebo Band for a one night performance of music from 'Star Wars.' Pieces include Yoda's Theme and The Imperial March. Free to the public. ["A Celtic Christmas: Music, Dance and the Soul of the Season" is also playing at the Rialto Center for the Performing Arts, for those who dance to the beat of a different drum.]
3. FOOD
Get out of the kitchen and order a Fox Bros. smoked ham or turkey to complete your Thanksgiving feast. Smoked hams are $60, and a 10 - 14 lb. turkey with gravy will cost $75. Order by November 22 by calling 404.414.0826. For more details, visit www.FoxBrosBBQ.com. [Here are some other great spots to get Thanksgiving to go around Atlanta.]
4. FAMILY-FRIENDLY
