More than 200 people gathered for the Pastorela, one of the oldest Mexican traditions during the holidays, at St. Thomas Aquinas Church, 1719 Morris St., Monday. Students from the civic class at Casa Monarca, 1144 S. 17th St., performed the nativity play (Photo 1).

Don’t Shoot: I Want a Future held its inaugural fundraiser to support the safety of local youths, especially those in Grays Ferry and Point Breeze, at Marian Anderson Rec Center, 744 S. 17th St., Saturday (Photo 3).

Indulge Hair Salon, 1603 Federal St., provided free hairstyling for shelter residents Saturday (Photo 4).

Daniel Lawrence Whitney, aka comedian Larry the Cable Guy, helped Eagles fans to learn better ways to tailgate Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field’s Tailgate Row, 3601 S. Broad St., before the Birds destroyed the New York Jets (Photos 5 and 6). The performer engaged the audience in football games and activities and delivered a routine on tailgating. Attendees had a chance to enter to win two tickets to Super Bowl XLVI. Those interested in trying to obtain tickets to the big game can visit tailgatefan.com/contest.
