Woolaroc is decked out for Christmas and its Wonderland of Lights.
Here's a week's worth of hot picks to get you in the holiday spirit.
Most entertainment during December is Christmas-related, but not all. One great option is "Seussical," which has several showtimes this week and next.
But if you're looking for Christmas-specific events, check out some of these events and others at
tulsaworld.com/calendar.
Monday: Jingle Bell Puppet TheaterPuppet theater is fun for kids of all ages, and this special holiday edition should draw a crowd to Central Library. If you can't make the afternoon show, bundle up and come back after dinnertime.
When: 3:30 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 7:30 p.m.
Where: Central Library, 400 Civic Center
Cost: Free
Tuesday: Appassionata Duo Candlelight ConcertA concert on a Tuesday night is a small indulgence, but a concert in candlelight on a weeknight is a luxury. This one is by a Tulsa viola and harp duo at Harwelden, with wine, cheese and dessert following the show.
When: 7 p.m.
Where: Harwelden, 2210 S. Main St.
Cost: Go to
tulsaworld.com/appassionata for more information.
Wednesday: Pop-Up Shops in the Deco DistrictMaybe you can't get away during the work day to shop at the temporary shops downtown.

Thursday: "Seussical"The Christmas season is great, but sometimes you need a break from the fa-la-la. "Seussical," while it does feature the Grinch (yes, the one who stole Christmas), is a fun show and a nice alternative to the holiday shows of December.
