Santacon!!!!
Well, this year I finally made it to the event I've been hearing about for years - Santacon. Basically a large and boisterous pub crawl, it involves all the participants dressing up as Santa or other holiday related people, like Rudolph or elves or Mrs Claus, or in my brother's case, Hannukah Harry. On this day every year, my bro is like a minor celebrity, with almost all of the 800+ participants greeting him by name and wanting to have their photos taken with him.
We all travel via subway and walking to lots of different pubs and public places. Imagine being somewhere and suddenly being invaded by a massive crowd of santas, and you'll get the picture.
It was a hell of a lot of fun :^)
So here are a few pics, but there's a full album online too.
Currently in Florida for Xmas - really enjoying the warmer weather and the great hospitality, but will write more about that later..
Wishing everyone a very Happy Holiday Season!!

cos he's Hanukkah Harry - check out the photos.. the first year he went, he was basically the only person not dressed as Santa. It's changed a bit since then, but before that no-one had really diverted from the "santa" theme...
