With Christmas on a Tuesday this year, many people are starting their celebrations as soon as they get off work tonight. If it&#8217;s your turn to host the out-of-towners, don&#8217;t fear. There is more to do than look at the naked guy on the mountain.<\/p>\n<p>Idea One: Holiday movies at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alabamatheatre.com\/\">Alabama Theatre<\/a>, located at <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=1811+3rd+Ave+N,+Birmingham,+AL+35203,+USA&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;z=16&amp;iwloc=addr&amp;om=1\" title=\"1811 Third Avenue North (directions) - Google Maps\">1811 Third Ave. North<\/a> in downtown Birmingham. Friday night (7 p.m.) watch the cat fry in &#8220;National Lampoon&#8217;s Christmas Vacation.&#8221; Saturday afternoon (2 p.m.) see three holiday cartoon favorites &#8212; &#8220;A Charlie Brown Christmas,&#8221; &#8220;Mickey&#8217;s Christmas Carol,&#8221; and &#8220;Santa Claus Is Comin&#8217; To Town.&#8221; Saturday night (7 p.m.) dream of &#8220;snow, snow, snow&#8221; with Bing and Rosemary in &#8220;White Christmas.&#8221; Tickets are $7 for adults\/$6 for senior citizens and children under 12. Available at the box office one hour before showtime.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Idea Two: Send the football fans to Five Points South. Starting at 2 p.m. today, there will be music and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.papajohnsbowl.com\/#\">PapaJohns.com Bowl<\/a>-related fun in Southside. At 5:30 p.m., a parade will start at Powell Ave. and travel down to the Fountain for a Pep Rally. The actual game kicks off noon Saturday at Legion Field. I&#8217;m excited because it&#8217;s my team in the game vs. Cincinnati. GO EAGLES!<\/p>\n<p>Idea Three: Hit the museums. Trains and IMAX at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcwane.org\/\">McWane Science Center<\/a>, Pompeii at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artsbma.org\/\">Birmingham Museum of Art<\/a>, photographs and more at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bcri.org\/index.html\">Birmingham Civil Rights Institute<\/a> &#8212; our museums have something for everyone in the family. Now all these places are closed Christmas Eve and Day. But Sunday, Sunday would be a good day to get folks out of the house.<\/p>\n<p>Now I started my holiday weekend Thursday night at the Terminal holiday party at Bottletree&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bhamterminal.com\/timetable\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2007\/12\/terminal-party.jpg\" alt=\"The Terminal\u2019s Holiday Party\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To everyone there and to all our readers, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
