“Frog and Toad” and “A Little Princess” are still running, plus we look ahead to the best of January. Don’t want to talk to your family anymore? See a show.

Read MoreWith this week’s column, we say thank you and goodbye to Chris Kayser, for his 16 years as the Alliance Theatre’s Ebenezer Scrooge. If you’d like a non-holiday outing, try Synchronicity’s family-friendly “Peter Pan & Wendy.” Mark your January calendars for “The Only Light in Reno” at Georgia Ensemble Theatre and the TDP Legacy Concert, spotlighting talented instrumentalists developed through a forward-looking ASO initiative. Merry Christmas, everyone.

Read MoreBoth “Peter Pan & Wendy” at Synchronicity Theatre and a free evening of storytelling at Theatrical Outfit are new and worth your time. And you can’t go wrong with the Alliance Theatre’s “Christmas Carol” or Atlanta Ballet’s “Nutcracker.” The usual holiday suspects continue on as well.
Read MoreIf you don’t like holiday-themed theater and music, well, January is only about 34 days away. For now, feast on “A Christmas Carol” at the Alliance Theatre, Atlanta Ballet’s “Nutcracker” and many delights from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
