	SantaCon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Variously known as Santarchy, Santa Rampages and the Red Menace, SantaCon events are noted for bawdy and harmless behavior, including the singing of naughty Christmas carols, and the giving of gifts.
		Santa events are now planned and put on by a many groups for a variety of purposes.
		The Santa Rampage is mentioned in Chuck Palahniuk's book Fugitives and Refugees: A Walk in Portland, Oregon and in his short story "My Life as a Dog" (featured in the book Stranger Than Fiction: True Stories).

	Santa Rampage 2003
		Santas are not in a hurry and are often slow or hung-over in the morning.
		Santas prefer other activities and really like the street musicians, and hang out and sing and dance and entertain the crowds for Christmas and think these are preferable customs.
		Santas then gleefully go to the garbage can to retrieve the beer, only to be thwarted again by the police who make us throw it away again and threaten to arrest us for some ridiculous reason.

	Sploid: Drunken Santas riot in New Zealand (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		The Associated Press, Reuters and the BBC all claimed the rampage was a protest against the commercialization of Christmas, but Drunken Santa leader Alex Dyer denied the media's claims of a message to the madness.
		The Auckland rampage is loosely related to "Santarchy" events held by drunken Santas all over the world, but Dyer said his gang is all about chaos and drinking.
		On Dec. 1, it was reported by SPLOID that Santa had suffered several indignities across Scandinavia including sledding while drunk (dramatic re-enactment available here), 40 reindeer being killed by a runaway train and one of his elves attacking a small child in a mall.

	Anita's Book of Days -- Friday, December 1, 2000
		There were santas in corsets, pimp santas in red leather cowboy hats, and elves, along with regulation santas, and a few reindeer.
		I think the santas had had such a good time there last year (during part of the rampage when I wasn't around) that they were drawn there as if by a magnet.
		Santa is cheap!) I decided to abort the mission at this point, and go over to the dance and actually dance.

	Santarchy! (Santacon)
		Santa_______ as we’ll call him from now on, pretty much invented all of the bad, stupid Santa activities that have become de rigeur for santas like the New Zealand crew of this year.
		Santa Robert (not to be confused with the benign & low key SantaCon originator Santa Rob) swiped a bottle of Skyye Vodka off a families table at a debutante party we crashed in the Venetian Room of the Fairmont Hotel.
		Santa’s Flash & Dana spirited him off the bus before we were detained by the cops, no doubt saving him a night in jail.

		Jack had a santa jacket and cap; I had a green top, and a red skirt, with purple long underwear under both, plus my red jacket and mobcap.
		One santa got about ten strokes of the crop, and a few hits from a big red paddle, all with pants down.

		As for the political meaning of the event, at least one Santa was disappointed by the missing political awareness of the group.

	NYC SantaCon 2003
		NYC SantaCon 1998 was a blissful three-day affair with more than 100 Santas flying in from all over the country as NYC hosted the national event.
		Santa highly recommends spending the whole day until at midnight you are delirious and exhausted and you are shouting at strangers or mumbling to yourself and the whole thing gets blurry and you wake up the next day in Tijuana.
		Bring your "Holiday Spirit" as you understand "Holiday Spirit", which is to say santas are encouraged to let loose, be obnoxious, make a mockery of the holiday, act in a confusing and disorienting manner to holiday shoppers.

		Santa Beagle was just a man, albeit a freak of nature, but still just a man. Flesh and blood.

		For several years I had heard about these wild Santa Rampages (organized by the San Francisco Cacophony society) in which hundreds of members dressed in Santa suits congregate on a given day (not xmas) and in a certain city, and cause havoc chaos and fun wherever they go.
		I am not a real big Santa fan, and not into mobs, but when I heard in 1998 that they were planning on going to New York on December 18th, I had to go.
		I found the experience to be similar to that of being in an Art Car; this ball of energy rolling forward collecting the glances and stares laughs and smiles of a public that we just happened upon.

		Some of the Santas started walking over the overpass, but my feet didn't feel the need to walk up and down a flight of stairs when we could just cross in front of Snoopy Town.
		While waiting for Santa to get subway tickets, I talked to Steve and Arlo, this Canadian fella who was the only person at The Three Santateers' Guest House to come along for the journey.

		All manner of Santas were in attendance: Boy Santas, Girl Santas, Santas wearing gas masks, sexy miniskirted Santas and bare-chested Scottish Santas in white-fringed kilts.
		Kids, especially, screamed with delight at the sight of so many potential gift-bearers, and the Santas rewarded them with candy canes, small bottles of ketchup or slices of processed cheese.

		You can tell that this woman with me is a genuine Santa and not an imposter because she is holding a drink.
		The gravity of the Santas became a bit too much, and many of them collapsed back upon one another much like a star collapses—only with groping and alcohol breath.
		The Santa army filled up the Lusty Lady, a quarter—booth strip joint, there was some more groping, making out, and debauchery, and then we all went our separate ways.
