This is it. The last week before one of two events: A) the Apocalypse or B) Christmas. Either way, you've got a hell of a lot to accomplish in the next several days. Finish your shopping, prepare the last supper, hire a priest for your final rites. You know, the usual to-do list.

But if you need a break between prayers and shopping mall madness, we've got you covered with lots of free stuff to do this week. Hopefully, we'll see you next week. If not, happy end times, everybody.

Monday

Santa stops by Winn Dixie: Jolly old Saint Nick himself will be making an appearance at your local supermarket. You can pose for pics with the big man and nosh on milk and cookies.

Tuesday

Biscayne Triangle Truck Round-up: Stuff yourself silly with eats from more than 30 food trucks. Plus live jazz for happy ears.

Wednesday

Pet Nights with Santa at Dolphin Mall: Bring Fido or Fluffy to sit on Santa's lap to tell him what they want for Christmas. Hint: there's likely to be meat involved.

Friday

A Christmas Story at Brickell World Plaza: Watch Richie shoot his eye out and admire the infamous "major award" in this Christmas classic.
