Bad Santa

In the dark winters of Finland, the legend of Santa Claus is a little different from the jolly fat guy we know. The Texas Theatre started showing “Rare Exports” around Christmastime a few years ago, and it’s a fun way to shake off the ooey-gooey of the Christmas season. If ooey-gooey is more your thing, though, the theater also screens “It’s A Wonderful Life,” Dec. 20.
