Santa Claus Crawls

     Every year, 50,000 New Yorkers dress up like Santa and flood the streets of Manhattan for one day that would instantly place them on the naughty list.  Among the sea of old Saint Nicks, you will likely spot a few Hanukkah men, elves, and Jesus.  Instead of crawling from pub to pub, the goal is to hit up all 5 sections of NYC, a task even the youngest of Santas with the Cadillac of reindeer cannot complete.
Times Square getting jolly.
Doubles Shark-Whisperer attended 2012's Santa Con.
     In D.C., we don't have such madness.  We merely choose an area, dress festively, donate a toy for a tot (we let them keep our tot), and crawl from pub to pub (oftentimes right next door).  Whether in NYC or D.C., the Santa crawls make for a merry good time.  Cheers to the naughty list!
Da group.
Silly boys.
Look festive ladies!
The only time of year moose ears become reindeer ears. (They aren't even ears....they're antlers....deep thoughts by JDub).
Quite simply a drinking device.
     Well, that about wraps up Christmas this year (pun intended).  Time for boring, cold January.....OH WAIT, I go to Peru in 3 weeks.....HIP-HIP HOORAH!!!!
These models were paid in belly rubs and puppy treats.
