If you're making your Christmas plans (and since it's still technically summer for another day or two, why would you be?), you'll need to know that tickets for Kurt Bestor's annual Christmas extravaganza went on sale today.

Yes, the Utah tunesmith is presenting his 26th annual Christmas show, running Dec. 19, 20 and 21 at Abravanel Hall, 123 W. South Temple, Salt Lake City.

Tickets to the four shows (the 21st is a Saturday, so there's a matinee in there) run from $20 to $47.50, and are available at ArtTix as of today.

No word yet on who Bestor will bring along as his guest star. Past guest stars have included singer Melissa Manchester, violinist Jenny Oaks Baker and singer Jennifer Warnes.
