THAT’S  A WHOLE LOT OF SANTAS!

WHAT IS SANTACON?

SantaCon is a not-for-profit, non-political, non-religious & non-logical Santa Claus convention, attended for absolutely no reason.   It is a global yearly convention that has apparently taken on a life of its own!  Thousands of people dress up like Santa and have a convention simply to show their Christmas spirit.   I LOVE IT!  You don’t need to dress like Santa, it can be anything Christmas related–come as a gift, or a tree, or a nutcracker if you want–but come dressed festive! 

Why haven’t I heard about this before?  I guess I live in a world of cartoons with the kids and missed it on television but there had to have been some news coverage on this this year.  If there wasn’t then I don’t know what is wrong with the media in our country.  What a wonderful event. 

A random email from a friend who actually particpated enlightened me to this whole Santacon celebration.  I think it is AWESOME!  He posted a pic of himself in a Santa Suit in the NYC Subway and I emailed him with–Wow that was so cool-you rode the train like that all day?  He emailed me back with a bunch of links.   I thought I would share some of the pics I found on flickr
