Santa Paws is coming to a town near you

It’s that time of year again when Santa Con descends upon many cities. I’m still home in San Francisco , and met with a friend today at union Square for this rather silly, yet vibrantly red event. The best part was meeting Santa Paws. Meet Sydney the star of the event.

Is there a Santa Con in your neck of the woods? Share your photo’s on this thread.

What is Santa Con?

@Smiley SantaCon is an annual event where people dress as Santa Claus or as other Christmas characters and parade in hundreds of cities around the world. A December 2015 article on Vox website described SantaCon as "a roving, loosely organised event where people dress like Santa Claus, elves, or other holiday figures and parade around a city in varying states of sobriety.” It’s comparable to other adult party days, like St. Patrick’s Day or Halloween.

This is an article from this years San Francisco SantaCon you should find interesting.

Funny Facebook memory from when I most recently lived in the San Francisco Bay Area and SantaCon happened:

SantaCon happens across the country, where I now live, as well. But I don’t pay attention.

Yup that’s what it is! After union Square they’ll all descend on Polk Street for the pub crawl, and it’s not a pretty site :santa::mx_claus::laughing::christmas_tree:

In Rehoboth Beach we have the Santa Bar Crawl benefitting Toys for Tots.
