SantaCon 2018

Visited Manhattan for SantaCon on December 8th. An annual tradition where people dress up, mostly in Santa costumes (but any costume is fine), meet in mass in a location in the city divulged only 24 hours before the start of the event. After the mass gathering, the Santas make their way from (participating) bar to bar day drinking into night drinking all over the city. I went with my husband and best friend, Rachel. Rachel and I dressed up so we became "one of them." What was really fun about being dressed up is people were super welcoming to being photographed. I was the photographer and the participant. It made for a great day!

Below are a few of my favorites from the day!

Onward!


Miles walked: 4.8

Friendly Santas :)

Sexy Santa ;)

PC080029

Headless Santa

PC080031

More friendly Santas! They were very patient as my small on-camera flash sometimes slowed me down as the flash had to recharge.

PC080035

Double trouble Santas. Saw this couple twice in two different areas of the city!

PC080037

Someone didn't get the memo.

PC080039

Super tall Santa.

PC080044

We went into one bar just to see what when on inside. Loved the Abominable Snowman!

PC080046

Santa Claws.

PC080047

I gotta be me.

PC080058

Blazer Santas.

PC080059

Long lines of Santas. They were trying to get into 230 on Fifth which is my favorite rooftop bar in the city (near the Flat Iron). But alas, it would have been a couple of hour wait on this day. #pass

PC080078

Super stylin' Santa.

PC080106

Reflecting Rudolph. (that's my friend, Rachel)

PC080116

Grand Central at Christmas time. 

PC080117

Me and Rachel!

We had a fun day and I would definitely go back for SantaCon next year. Perhaps we will stay over the night before so we can be there in the morning to see all the Santas arriving by subway and get a shot of the mass of Santas at the kick off.

Until the next Magic Metro I wish you all a very fun holiday season!
