Whether you're a rotten grinch or Santa's little helper, there's lots going on Christmas week in Singapore.

It's a pretty short week, so rejoice! There are lots of Christmas parties, a pub crawl and Kumar doing what he does best.  If Christmas isn't your thing, you can still check out some of the remaining exhibitions or eat at some new restaurants (one of them has a nose-to-tail dining experience).
