Four things to do around Atlanta on Monday, Dec. 21:
1. FEATURED
Jive with Zac Brown Band's John Driskell Hopkins and Atlanta Pops Orchestra for In the Spirit: A Celebration of the Holidays at Venkman's tonight for an evening of Christmas classics and fun. Tickets are $15. [This is the last weekend for many holiday-inspired shows. Catch one before they're gone.]
2. FREE & CHEAP
Mrs. Claus invites you to Barrington Hall in Roswell today from 10 a.m. until noon for cookies. [Once you've gotten your sugar fix, hit the ice to burn off those extra calories.]
3. FOOD
Sweet Auburn's gone ham this Christmas. In addition to their whole smoked turkeys and Christmas dinner packages, they're offering house-cured, slow smoked hams for the holidays as well. Each ham feeds between 16 and 18 people. Orders must be placed by 3 p.m. today. [You can also dine out on Christmas Eve at these Atlanta restaurants.]
4. FAMILY-FRIENDLY
What happens when Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman meet at the grocery store? Students from elementary through high school are invited to participate in Aurora Theatre Academy's Jingle Bell Rock Workshop, an eggnog improv crash course full of theatre games, kooky characters, pizza and fun. Tuition is $35 and includes lunch. [Speaking of Rudolph, here are five things you need to know about the red-nosed reindeer.]
