‘Greatest challenge’ no match for Zendaya

Finished the shopping? Break out the Bushmills, Jameson, Black Bush and Paddys and party along to “Christmas with The Celts.” (Haven’t started yet? Seems it could wait another day.)

The Celts would be the Irish-American band with the PBS special of the same name. The quartet fronted by Ric Blair just might make you break into a “Riverdance” to fiddlin’ versions of classics such as “Joy to the World,” or add “Drowsy Maggie” and “Baloo Lammy” to your Christmas play list.

The show promises special guests including Irish step dancers, so you neither have to drink nor dance alone.
