Hear, hear! Elf turns 21 this year. Celebrate with hundreds of Buddys at the Elf Pub Run, an event going for at least 10 years itself! Before settling in with popcorn for the movie, guests will dash over from the historic Paramount Theatre to the equally historic Scholz Garten, notable for its longevity as Texas’ oldest restaurant, serving beers and hearty German fare since Reconstruction. Arrive decked out in your finest fashions from the North Pole to join the costume contest, and be ready for prizes, hijinks, and spreading cheer for all to hear. – Kat McNevins
