MUSIC: There will be boots, studs, leather and other stylistic accessories at the Airliner this Saturday as 18 plus punk bands converge on the Airliner for a Christmas show. Two floors, two stages and outdoor BBQ on behalf of Fries the Limit will provide you with enough space and fuel to thrash around with your friends. The Airliner is located at 2419 N. Broadway Blvd. in Lincoln Heights. The show starts at 4 pm.

MOVIES: It's the most wonderful terrible time of the year! Cinefamily is celebrating the holiday season with a compilation of found footage for "Everything Is Terrible!" It promises layers of "erotic Santas, Nazi elves, misplaced sentimentalities, fistfights over toys-for-tots and an endless parade of singing kids that will surely destroy us all." You can catch the holiday special at 9:30 pm or midnight. And while we're here, you should know that Cinefamily has a Kickstarter project that needs your help.

BALLET: Tonight you can catch the Nutcracker, courtesy of the The Los Angeles Ballet. The dance company makes its way to the Valley Performing Arts Center just in time for you to enjoy the holidays with family and friends. The event starts at 7:30 PM and tickets range from $30-$95. You can buy tickets here. The Valley Performing Arts Center is located at 18111 Nordhoff Street.
