SantaCon gathering in Union Square, San Francisco, California
Did a reindeer-drawn sleigh provide this aerial view of SantaCon, the annual Santa convention in San Francisco’s Union Square? If it did, then a certain Saint Nick would have observed crowds of merrymakers in Santa suits, gathering for a parade and pub crawl. SantaCon events occur in most US cities and even around the world, a tradition that started in 1994. On occasion, the gatherings have gotten out of hand and some celebrants ended up on the naughty list. Be careful out there!
