SantaCon invited people of all ages to dress as Santa Claus and parade around the city. Santas followed a planned route via Twitter. The route included different bars, restaurants, city landmarks, and tourist destinations. All perfect places for Santas to mingle and take pictures.
Thousands and thousands of Santas traipsed around the city during SantaCon. Santas stumbled off buses, popped out of subways, took over the Brooklyn Bridge, snoozed on park benches, caught taxis, and marched down the street. Big bellies and white beards dominated that day... because nothing says Christmas like 5,000 Santas outside of City Hall.
Kids and tourists loved it. New Yorkers, though, played it very cool. Apparently, it takes more than 5,000 Santas to shock them.

Reed's beard was M.I.A. He went for a more chic and modern Santa look.
More Santas at the other end of the subway car.

Amazingly, all cotton balls survived. My gluing skills are unmatched.
