Some of us haven’t even finished slicing the last tasty bits off the Thanksgiving turkey, and already we’re full steam ahead with big Christmas-season events all around. It’s a busy, busy week for arts and culture. Take a look.

The leaves are raked, the lights are up, the turkeys have been picked clean (and so, some say, have the Bengals) … And now, ’tis the season! Make way for a feast of holiday fare: “The Nutcracker,” “Messiah,” “Feast of Carols,” “White Christmas,” “Advent Lessons” and other favorites highlight the week.
