FIVE THINGS to get you out of the house on Christmas Day

By Caitlin Donohue

“It’s a Jewish Christmas, San Francisco” Let Broke Ass Stuart welcome you into his loving arms, whether you’re Jewish or not, for his annual Xmas day kickback. Woody Allen films on loop, a Chinese food buffet, and strip dreidel await you here. 5pm-midnight, $10. The Make-Out Room, 3225 22nd. www.brokeassstuart.com

Booty Call There’s no cover tonight at drag legend Juanita More’s weekly turn up in the Castro, but there will be this party’s impressive photobooth, DJing by Robert
Jeffery of Club Lyfe, and extremely jolly cocktails. 9pm-2am, free. Q Bar, 456 Castro, SF. www.bootycallwednesdays.com

 Contemporary Jewish Museum community day Town’s phenomenal Jewish
culture museum flings its doors open wide for those looking to spend the day browsing superb temporary exhibits (including the current show of illustrations
by Frog and Toad artist Arnold Loebel), taking in a puppet show, and maybe even a
bowl of matzo ball soup at the museum’s outpost of Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen.
11am-4pm, free. Contemporary Jewish Museum, 736 Mission, SF. www.thecjm.org

Karma Cinema at New Parkway Theater Catch Blue is the Warmest Color, the
original Wizard of Oz, 12 Years a Slave, or any of this Oakland theater’s other offerings. Today all entry is by donation – just know that 30 percent of whatever you
can spare will go straight to local charities. Various showtimes, pay what you will. New Parkway Theater, 474 24th St. www.thenewparkway.com

Black X-mass For 16 years, Karla LaVey’s First Satanic Church has held this dark
Xmas conjuring. Don your black and pentacles – this year’s concert lineup includes
BITE, The Death Medicine Band, Theremin Wizard Barney, Kitten on the Keys,
George Michalski, The Devil Dancers, and more – plus there will be free snacks
(we’re assuming deviled eggs.) 9pm-2am, $10. Elbo Room, 647 Valencia, SF. www.elbo.com
