Christmas is just a week away! Can you believe it? And, just when we thought we had mentioned all the holiday-themed burlesque shows that were happening, a whole new crop of burly shows pop up.

We got a sexy take on Charlie Brown’s Christmas happening in Los Angeles, courtesy of the Monday Night Tease gang. Naked Girls Reading will be reading “A Christmas Carol” in New Orleans. Here in Seattle, Ben DeLaCreme and Kitten LaRue (The Atomic Bombshells) will be presenting their legendary “Homo for the Holidays” show, now celebrating its fifth year! The gals from Purrlesque in North Carolina are offering two different shows in one night for a discounted price, with live music! There’s even a workshop in Tucson, Arizona where Fanny Galore will teach you how to put on a sexy Santa-themed striptease for that special someone on Christmas night after you put the kids to sleep.

Lots of sexy holiday fun out there for you folks. Take a break from the shopping and enjoy yourself. That’s what the holidays are all about, right?
