Stranded in L.A. during Christmas because your immediate family is an unaffordable plane ticket away? Consider yourself the lucky one because 1) you don’t have to deal with the horror that is holiday travel and 2) you can spend the 25th nursing a luscious Toasted Marshmallow while singing your favorite Xmas songs with other orphaned Angelenos during the Bigfoot Lodge’s very special holiday Rock-n-Roll Karaoke. Lucky!

Christmas karaoke at my family gettogethers consists of my Auntie Nina’s cat-yowling rendition of Pat Boone’s “April Love” and my mom’s tearful interpretation of Patsy Cline’s “Crazy” all while accompanied by cheesy karaoke videos and ’70s-style synthesizers. Ay yah! Don’t worry, I’ll be sucking down the nog and Malibu Rum to numb the pain. But you, my friends, will get to hang out with hip people who are around your own age and may even get to hear some pretty good performances.

If you get there a bit before the show, consider driving through the DWP Holiday Light Festival in Griffith Park for some holiday inspiration. Merry Christmas to all and to all a rockin’ good night.
