Santa can’t resist a sexy reindeer this week, plus burlesque, the law and art by women

Tonight: Just recall Billy Bob Thornton in a Santa suit for evidence that jolly old St. Nick might not actually be so sweet. The latest from local theater company She and Her Productions offers another take on the creepy Kris Kringle angle. The Eight: Reindeer Monologues by Jeff Goode is kinda like the Vagina Monologues meets The Accused at the North Pole. Experience the tell-all with antlers at the Crane Building, 1107 Hickory in the West Bottoms, at 8 p.m. The run concludes this weekend.

Tuesday: Leave the hoof-bearing vixens to the old, fat guy. Thighs that aren’t covered in fur — or much of anything, really, besides smooth, soft skin — will prance around the Beaumont Club for a red hot night of burlesque and bands during the Pretty Things Peep Show, which is guaranteed to put stripes on your candy cane. Just keep your mittens to yourself.
