Seeing that Hanukkah is underway and Christmas is Sunday, we suspect most people will stay in the house for most if not all of this weekend. For that reason, this week's Get Out focuses on holiday events and observances in and near Parsippany. If the holiday doesn't hold any particular fascination for you (or if you feel the need to, um, get out of the house), we'll probably see you at the local movie theater. Nothing wrong with that at all. Of course, if you do celebrate one of the winter holidays (and we include Diwali, Festivus and the winter Solstice), we wish you and your friends and family peace, love and joy. Make it a safe weekend. Temple Beth Am Hanukkah Celebration Where/When: Friday at 6 p.m. at Temple Beth Am, 879 S. Beverwyck …

Temperatures are dropping and we are getting closer to the big days. Actually, we are talking about the weekend, but yes, the holidays are nearly here as well. And coincidentally, most of the items on our to-do list for the next end-of-the-week is filled with holiday-related happenings. So, if you have some more shopping to do, or wish to catch a Christmas- or Hanukkah-themed event or performance or want to avoid anything remotely connected to the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, there is sure to be something here that will tickle your fancy. In honor of the Women's Theater Company and its Holiday Cabaret (see below for details), we quote Kander and Ebb: What good is sitting alone in your room? Get out of the house. Note: The previously …
