WHASSUP: Holiday Edish [MERRY XMAS 'N' SHIT]

BREAK OUT YOUR EFFING HOLIDAY CHEER, PARK SLOPE. IT'S WHASSUP, HOLIDAY EDITION!

*Now: Holiday light show. South Sloper Ryan Powers has set up his yearly, handmade holiday light and sound display on 22nd between Sixth and Seventh. The three-minute show runs every 20 minutes from 5-10pm until January 8th, so stop by. 

*Thursday, Dec 18: Literature and food. Luckily not holiday-themed (as far as I know), Brooklyn Reading Works is serving up fiction, poetry and snacks at a reading event at the Old Stone House. It's a benefit for the Slope's St. Augustine's, too. Time, readers and charity info here.

*Now through Thursday, Dec 23: Holiday gift market and workshops. Brooklyn Flea's Gifted holiday market is going strong now through Thursday, Dec 23 at Skylight One Hanson for the holidays. Special stuff this weekend includes two Design*Sponge DIY workshops, too. Tons of info; so get it all here.

*Saturday and Sunday, December 18-19: Holiday craft marketplace. The Brooklyn Lyceym's third annual holiday craft marketplace is setting up shop at, duh, the Lyceum. Crafts, artisans and foods, plus a free batting cage and pics with Santa (who has been off the Food Coop diet lately to look festive). Free, with all your schedule and vendor info here.

*Sunday, December 19: Holiday trivia show. Get trivial in DUMBO with the Mental_Floss crew's special Holiday Edition Trivia Show. Part bar quiz, part game show, many bad jokes. Just how we like 'em. Details here.

*Saturday, December 25: Jewy Christmas partay. Once you're done going to the movies and eating Chinese food, JDub's eighth annual Christmas jam for the Jewz, Jewltide, is ragin' at Southpaw. Karaoke competition, drink special, free donuts, general fun. Contribution from $10 admission goes to charity. Info here.

BONUS LEVEL OF AWESOME: We're giving away a pair of tix to JDub's Jewltide, so if you wanna go, leave a comment by Sunday at 11:59pm on WHY JEWZ R00L and we'll give a pair to our fave. I will not comment on allowable level of offensiveness, but remember, the ghosts of my relatives are watching you from the Belarusian shtetl.
