This past Saturday SantaCon hit NYC by storm. Thousands of Santas roamed all over Manhattan hitting up as many of the 60 participating bars as they could. Though most of the participants wore the standard santa suit, there were also tons of elves, presents, trees and toy soldiers. I personally love to see the hand made originals, like this awesome tree.
And although you may think santacon is just an excuse for twenty somethings to wake up and drink all day (I mean yes, this is a large part of it) almost 7,000 lbs of canned foods were collected for local food banks and $45,000 was donated to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.
SantaCon is not limited to New York. Hoboken will be having its SantaCon this coming weekend on Saturday Decemeber 22. See this website for more info.
