Santa Fe-style puppetry rules the day at New Mexico Museum of Art’s Holiday Open House. Local performers present a skit, “A Really Big Party for Papa Gus,” featuring replicas of marionettes made by artist Gustave Baumann. The marionette show (1:30 and 3 p.m. in the St. Francis Auditorium) is just one of the activities planned for families; there is also puppet-making, a puppet hunt with clues and prizes, and selfies with Santa. The Holiday Open House is from 12 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 22, at 107 W. Palace Avenue. Admission is free; 505-476-5072, nmartmuseum.org.— Jennifer Levin
