On Stage
'Spirit of Kwanzaa,' A Tradition Itself
The event, which celebrates the holiday's principles with dance, music and spoken-word performances, comes to the Kennedy Center on Tuesday and Wednesday.

A Wine for All Reasons
Chances are good that you think of Champagne only in connection with celebrations, don't order it in restaurants and never drink it on a Tuesday unless New Year's Eve happens to fall on that day.

Holiday Spirits
Matt August has a penchant for unpleasant characters. The director of "A Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story of Christmas" at Ford's Theatre says he was drawn to the seasonal production for one reason: Ebenezer Scrooge.

New Year's Eats
