This Christmas stuff someone’s stocking with NJ’s hottest theater ticket!

Reindeer aren't the only thing with antlers. This season give your favorite Garden Stater a Dirty Jersey Christmas. Kevin Smith, Smodcastle Cinemas, and Weird New Jersey present "The Devil and Daisy Dirt" at the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center. Even if you’ve experienced this show before, the newly expanded lighting, sound and other enhanced production values, make this latest version a show you’ll want to see again.

Trust us, friends, creatures (and by creatures we mean one particular state demon that stands 8' tall) are definitely stirring. Coming this February. Visit NBPAC.org for details.

It ain't Krampus, but it's close!

SANTA'S JERSEY ROOTS
While the image of the jolly old elf we’ve all come to know as Santa Claus may live at the North Pole, the father of this version of Father Christmas once lived right here in New Jersey.

The modern “ho ho ho” image of Santa Claus, also known as Saint Nick or Kris Kringle, brings children gifts on Christmas Eve of toys and candy or coal or nothing, depending on whether they are “naughty or nice”.

The Technicolor Trees of Christmas
Weird NJ correspondent Anastasia Morris recently paid a visit to Wyckoff’s Christmas Tree Farm in Belvidere, Warren County, NJ and filed the following report:

Wyckoff’s is New Jersey’s original colored tree farm. Weird, because these colors, so vibrant, are not typical tree colors. There are various colors to choose from, such as pink, purple, dark blue, light blue, turquoise, magenta, red, black, white, or red, white, and blue.
