Nothing says “sex me up” like roller skates … wait. That’s weird. Oh well, any excuse to celebrate the holidays in smutty style works for me – including tomorrow’s Santa’s Sexy Helper Adult Skate. Come (I can’t help myself) in full naughty-list seasonal garb and get free admission. Just watch where you stick those Christmas lights. Thurs., Dec. 17, 9 p.m., United Skates, 5121 N. Armenia Ave., Tampa, $7 without costume, myspace.com/unitedadultnight. – Franki Weddington

Tonight’s installment in the Dali and Beyond surreal cinema series is Peter Capaldi’s Franz Kafka’s It’s A Wonderful Life -- perfect for the Christmas cynic in all of us.

The deranged short takes the spirit of Frank Capra's holiday classic for an award-winning black comedy that imagines the famous author suffering writer’s block on Christmas Eve, continually stumbling over how to complete the first sentence of Metamorphosis and being tormented by holiday revelers downstairs. Sounds like a typical Tuesday during the holidays, if you ask me. Thurs., Dec. 17, 6 p.m. $5 after 5 p.m. Salvador Dalí Museum, 1000 Third St. S., St. Petersburg, salvadordalimuseum.org. – Franki Weddington

You and your four-legged friends are invited to a Block Party with Santa, a wine tasting accompanied by appetizers, drink specials, pet photos with Santa, live acoustic music by Ray Gurka, and the chance to win a few prizes, too (on the off-chance that, like us, you have last-minute gift shopping or stocking stuffing to do.) — all to benefit the Tampa Bay chapter of the Humane Society. Visit humanesocietytampa.org. Thurs., Dec. 17, 6 p.m. $5. Downtown Dogs, 1631 West Snow Circle, Tampa.

Local football hero Ian Beckles hosts his AS.I.BE Magazine holiday party, where live models rock the latest in haute fashion and pimp his latest project — AS.I.BE. Magazine — while you sip on complimentary cocktails, nosh on hors d’oeuvres, and hear the mad tunes of DJs Lino and Matty. Proceeds benefit Metropolitan Ministries. Thurs., Dec. 17, 6:30-9 p.m. $10. RAWBar Sushi, 777 N. Ashley Dr., Tampa.
