Rihanna spends her holiday with her family on Barbados on December 29, 2011.

While many of us are huddled under blankets or gathering around the fire to stay warm this winter, leave it to Rihanna to be frolicking on a beach in a bikini. The "Birthday Cake"-loving songbird went home for the holidays, which for her means sunshine, sand, and surf (most of the rest of us aren't so lucky). There, Ri Ri soaked up some rays in a bikini even skimpier than her possibly-plagiarized "You Da One" body suit, swam with her brother, and of course stopped to pose for a few photos with fans, too.

A new survey by Advertising Age reportedly crowns the singer's sultry black and white campaign for Emporio Armani -- including that commercial where she strips off an Armani dress -- the sexiest ad of the year.

Weekend To-Do Guide: Ice Skating Rinks Open, Chinese Food And Waterskiing Santa (PHOTOS)

WASHINGTON -- The holidays are finally here! There are plenty of Christmas-themed events happening this weekend, but don't feel left out if you're not celebrating. There are tons of Chinese food happenings around town, plus parties geared toward the Chosen People.

And if none of that strikes your fancy, several ice skating rinks are opening up for winter revelers. They're likely the only place you'll find winter-like conditions this weekend.

Get your Christmas juices flowing tonight at Black Cat's 'Bro Ho Ho' concert, featuring the likes of These United States frontman Jesse Elliot, John Bustine, Brandon Butler and others. Tickets are $10. Doors open at 9 p.m., 1811 14th St. NW.

Wu-Tang Clan takes the stage at Falls Church's State Theatre, bringing along rap legends including RZA, Raekwon, Method Man, GZA, Ghostface Killah, Masta Killa, U-God and Inspectah Deck. Tickets are $55. Doors open at 8 p.m., 220 N. Washington St., Falls Church, Va.

With the unseasonably warm weather we've been having, a waterskiing Saint Nickalmost seems like it belongs at National Harbor today. This year marks Santa Claus's 26th romp on the Potomac. He'll be joined by some equally hilarious Christmas favorites, including the flying elves, the jet skiing Grinch and Frosty the Snowman in a dinghy. Free. 1 p.m., National Harbor waterfront.

Calling all Jews who like to booze, party and mingle. Those of us not awash in thoughts of mistletoe and reindeer have their choice of two parties catered to the Chosen People tonight: The Gefilte Fish Gala ($5 suggested donation) at Muse Lounge and the Matzo Ball ($35) at Eden. Both events have a long, celebrated history of singleton debauchery and guarantee you won't hear Jingle Bells played once all night.

If you had holiday mishap -- maybe the neighbors' dogs devoured the festive turkey dinner a la "A Christmas Story" -- or if you just don't feel like cooking, we've got a roundup of places serving up Christmas fare today. And if those places are booked up, there's always Chinese food. We picked out some favorite places for you.

Need to escape the family for a bit? Several ice skating rinks are opening up this weekend, including the Veterans Plaza Ice Skating Pavilion and the Pentagon Row andRockville Town Square rinks.

The decades-old Chinese-Jewish holiday love affair continues today with Sixth & I's 'Chinese Food + Movies + Beer' event, which features, naturally, Chinese food, movies and beer. This all-you-can-eat affair features beers from Shmaltz Brewing Company (the makers of He'Brew) and classics including "Spaceballs," "The Princess Bride" and "The Big Lebowski." Buy your ticket before Dec. 23 for $35, otherwise it goes up to $80. 1 p.m., 600 I St., NW.
