Santacon Santas Frolic In The City

Yesterday, the Santacon Santas braved the chilly temperatures to bring their usual holiday cheer to various points in the city. Here are a few more great photographs of the action. And according to a late night tweet from Santacon, "Santa got kicked our of a strip club. What did YOU do?"

Daily News reporter Brendan Brosh got the tough assignment of joining the fun: "I strapped on a shiny Santa Claus suit and joined a legion of merrymakers at a secret meeting spot in Queens. The booze began flowing well before the official 10 a.m. start... The Queens chapter was led from the park by a mysterious organizer to a massive loft party. A lady bartender sported a thong. Hipsters sipped from hip flasks. And a deejay in a wizard costume spun everything from hip-hop to reindeer music... Cops eventually crashed the party and told revelers to wrap it up."

    I just got home from SantaCon an hour ago. It was complete Santarchy! I heard central booking was filled with Santa's by the end of last night. Ho Ho Ho!

    I got me a stray elf last night and took care of a little business. Santacon rocks!

    Hope there were no "reindeer games" involved.

    And what was gay Santa doing while straight Santa was in the strip club? My guess is he went down to Chelsea to blow a few bucks!

    The initial meeting spots were NOT secret; they were published on a website the night before the event.
