Who's been naughty? SantaCon set for Dec. 10

(The story below was for the 2005 SantaCon. The 2009 SantaCon NYC is set for Dec. 12.)

The annual SantaCon will descend on New York City on Saturday, Dec. 10, amusing -- or horrifying -- Manhattan with their drunken Bad Santa holiday antics, at least until they pass out.

See the SantaCon web site for pictures from past years as well as lyrics to the SantaCon carols. They'll be singing holiday favorites such as "Cannabis is Coming to Town," "Whitetrash Wonderland" and "We Wish You’d Get Out of Our Way."

The current issue of Time Out New York Kids
says parents need not fear that a child's brush with SantaCon: "Children are very smart," one reveler told the magazine. "They can tell the difference between the santa whose lap they just sat on and gruop of drunken Santa impersonators."

See Santarchy for international SantaCon events.
