SantaCon 2015

I know a lot of people hate SantaCon, and I am not happy with some of the participants (like the people who were assholes towards the Black Lives Matter protestors last year) but I do enjoy seeing kids dressed as Santas and Elves and some creatures I couldn’t identify. I think they’re mostly adorable.

But I am home and in bed before they get really drunk.

Being nice to the police is always the way to go. I wonder if cops think this is a fun detail to pull.

So this guy on the left is firmly in the category of “what the hell is that??” And the Bumble!

I did hear, “Let’s get drunk,” and “I want to get drunk,” a lot as I walked around, I must admit. Every bar was packed.

Elves texting Santa. “Do you really need us back at the North Pole? Because we want to get drunk.”

Santas and the Chrysler Building, my favorite New York Building.

This one made me laugh. Some girl begging a bouncer about something. A familiar site from my younger days.

I kept trying to get shots which capture just how many Santas are out there. I thought maybe three shots in a row might do it.
