Willie K is the closet thing to a kanaka Santa I can imagine. The first time I partied with him, by Willie's generosity, it snowed sushi at Sansei, Kapalua. It was then I learned that for every ounce of talent and skill our dear Uncle Willie possesses, he is equally giving. So no better way to celebrate the season of giving than at the MACC with the merry man himself, along with the Maui Pops Orchestra. Maui Pops, lead by founder, conductor and now music director James Durham, endeavors "to entertain, educate and empower our listening audience to fully enjoy the broad spectrum of music written for the symphony orchestra." Other holiday gaiety can be had on Saturday at 7:30pm with "Revealing Christmas" at the Historic Iao Theater. Directed and choreographed by Alexander Cardinalli, this show features "traditional holiday songs and stories, contemporary music and uplifting magical dance numbers." Tickets are just $10, and if you're busy with Willie at the MACC Saturday night, there's an encore matinee performance of Iao's Christmas showcase at 3pm on Sunday. $12/$35/$45/$55, MACC: 242-7469; Iao Theater: 242-6969 Anu Yagi, MauiTime
