SantaCon is an event where a bunch of folks dress up as Santa or Santa minions and run around the city like freaks on leashes dancin n prancin about! There were over 6,000 attendees on facebook this year with five starting points in the boroughs that lead everyone into the Manhattan. I myself did NOT wanna get up that early to be in the city by 10am, so I stayed in for more zzz's and busied myself out with making a "Nick in a Box" costume complete with flashing lights for my friend while I dressed up as Rudolph with a flashing nose and antlers :P. Total run on sentence and incomplete sentence now.

NICK IN A BOX: I actually made the lights from flashing earrings that I got from Jack's 99 cent store!

So. Many. Santas.

And this was the cheering crowd at Washington Square Park:
Great spirit sparker! There are definitely a lot more lights being put up this year in my local neighborhood... does this mean I'll be getting a good Secret Santa present this year?
