Well, we suppose it’s inevitable. Some people just can’t accept the True Meaning of Christmas is drinking spiced liquor, string absurd amounts of lights and buying us an Intellivision, and insist on making it all about giving. Too many Peanuts specials if you ask us. But anyway, George Wallace is jumping on this “hand off stuff to the needy” bandwagon by holding a toy drive. Bring two new, unwrapped toys to the show at the Flamingo Dec. 1 through Dec. 12 between 6 and 10 p.m., and you can score a free ticket you can use until Dec. 16. Donations benefit HELP of Southern Nevada.

Magician Mac King is spreading his holiday cheer with Spread the Word Nevada Kids to Kids with a magic show and storybook reading at 7 p.m. Dec. 11 at the Henderson Barnes & Noble. When is someone going to stand up to this crass anti-commercialism and remind us all what the season is really about?
