Three not-so-traditional ways to bring on the holiday cheer

1. Grab the kids and head over to The Cedar in Minneapolis on Sunday at noon for Trailer Trash's Trashy Little Xmas Family Matinee. Watch the kids dance to honky tonk holiday tunes and realize that yes, you are that old.

2. Tired from all the holiday shopping? Pay a visit to the Walker Art Center, where you can pay money to watch advertisements for products you can't buy in the U-S. That's right, it's the British Arrows Awards, featuring rapping dairy farmers touting the quality of their yogurt.

3. Wishing there was more snow? Rockstar Storytellers presents "Rockstar Snow Emergency," featuring the spoken word talents of Allegra Lingo, Joseph Scrimshaw and phillip andrew bennet low, among others.

If you prefer more traditional holiday fare, tune in tomorrow for a list of Nutcrackers on Twin Cities stages...
