While you're making your list and checking it twice, you might want to make a last-minute addition for yourself and your party-loving pals, too: Pencil in "tickets to Brightest Young Things' Greatest Holiday Party Of All" at the Kennedy Center on Friday. If you've been waiting for the moment in the season when that hideous Christmas sweater becomes ironic and entirely appropriate, this is it — the event features an interactive Tacky Christmas photo shoot and performances by The Dance Party, Niche, and Wrath of Borgnine (expect cover songs galore). Dance group Keigwin & Company and Those Funny Little People from America's Got Talent will make an appearance, too. Pre-sale tickets are $5, or you can pay $10 at the door. So grab some friends, make yourselves festive, and watch the Kennedy Center transform into a totally-2011 North Pole (minus the Grinch-inducing weather).
When: Friday, December 9, from 9:30 pm to 1 a.m.
Where: Nations Gallery, Atrium and Roof Terrace Restaurant at The Kennedy Center, 2700 F Street NW; 202-467-4600.
