Pre-Christmas Party

Why lie in bed all night, pretending to sleep, when Santa knows you’re actually listening intently for hooves on the rooftop? He’ll come only after you get passed-out drunk on eggnog and no sooner. Begin that process at RecordBar (1020 Westport Road, 816-753-5207), which opens at 10:30 p.m. for its annual Yuletide Log and Egg Nog Holiday Party. As a gift to the whole crowd, bring an iPod full of your favorite holiday songs. Merry Christmas — there’s no cover tonight.
