NYC Weekanerd: Christmas and Non-Christmas Edition

It's Christmas Eve! Guess what you Gnerd readers are getting? Not our regular Monday Panel Discussion, that's for sure. Sorry about that, but the Geekanerd editors have been scattered across the country, away from from the scanners and fast internet connections of our Manhattan home base.

But we wouldn't completely leave you hanging, at least not those of you who live in NYC. Here's a very last minute Fun Size Xmas Edition Weekanerd, featuring only one Christmas event and two events specifically for those not celebrating Christmas. Which makes sense, because we can't exactly put "Playing Video Games With Your Teenaged Relatives" on there, which is what I assume most of those celebrating Christmas are are doing.

Event picks after the jump...

Monday, December 24th

• Jewltide 5
  
• 8pm @ Southpaw, 125 Fifth Ave, Brooklyn

This annual non-Christmas party centers around a screening of Wet Hot American Summer, the best movie by sketch comedians since Life of Brian. A cool $10 gets you in the door, plus free Chinese food, guest DG Cosmo Baker, and the first 100 people get Michael Showalter's CD, "Sandwiches & Cats." Plus, FREE BOOZE! Almost; 2 for 1 vodka special for the first hour and a half.

Monday and Tuesday, December 24th & 25th

• Bad Santa: The Director's Cut
  
• Multiple Times@ The IFC Center, 323 Sixth Ave, Manhattan
  

Those who do want to celebrate Christmas but not with good cheer can check out Terry Swigoff's longer, dirtier version of his 2003 hit, Bad Santa.

Tuesday, December 25th

• Rob Reiner Retrospective
  
• @ The JCC, 334 Amsterdam Ave, Manhattan
  

The Princess Bride (!) at 4pm, When Harry Met Sally at 6:30, and a Chinese Food buffet in the middle. $15 bucks for both movies and another $15 for the food, but you can dice it up however you want, as long as it includes The Princess Bride and Chinese Food.
