Art Basel is under our collective belts for another year. If you're not exhausted, hungover, and broke right now, what the hell are you doing with your life?

But this is no time for a break. Take a quick breather and get ready for three nonstop weeks of holiday parties, shopping for presents and eating massive and unforgivable quantities of food. Here's some free stuff to do in between the above.

Tuesday

Silver Linings Playbook screening at African Heritage Cultural Arts Center: All we want for Christmas is Jennifer Lawrence or Bradley Cooper. Even better -- both.

Truman Capote's A Christmas Memory at Coral Gables Museum: Skip the same old-same old Dickens' yarn and expand your literary horizons by listening to some Capote instead.

Wednesday

Man of Steel at Soundscape: Henry Cavill's bod on a 7,000 foot screen is a Christmas miracle, indeed.

Friday

Nativity Play at Miami Lakes United Methodist Church: Surprisingly, Santa didn't invent Christmas. A nativity play is one way to school yourself on the real reason for the season.
