Dark Yule
For those looking for a more mysterious holiday stocking stuffer or gift, the Dark Yule Market this Wednesday, Dec. 13, 5 to 9 p.m. at El Cucuy has something for everyone on your naughty (but nice) list. The event will include lots of local vendors and artists, food, burlesque performances, tarot readings and enough fun to keep even Krampus entertained.
Holiday Movies
In the mood for a holiday classic movie? Can’t wait to get your “Grinch” fix? Is “The Muppets Christmas Carol” more your speed? The New Orleans Public Library has you covered. Pop over to your nearest location to pick up a DVD or check out one of the three streaming services the library offers. (Plus, they have music, books and more.) Bonus: it’s all free!
Seasons glitter and glam
If you need a little sparkle to add to your holiday attire, be sure to stop by GlitterBox NOLA or NOLA Craft Culture for a wide array of festive toppers, fascinators, headbands and more. Pixie Dust biodegradable glitter can also create a “Sparkle Station” for any family, friend or company gathering, large or small, to sprinkle a little magic.
