There is nothing like a bit of good anarchy in the streets, and SantaCon is one of those afternoons where New Yorkers don a Santa Suit and join thousands of strangers for a bit of anonymous debauchery. Most of the Village was packed with Santas, and everyone who was not in a red suit was instead wearing a look of awe and confusion. I couldn't help to think that there should be a lot more days like this in New York City. Assembling in great numbers, forcing the public and the police to accept the temporary insanity, Santa took over the city (and made it very possible for some Saturday afternoon street photography).
My favorite out of all the hordes of people, were the elves protecting the real Santa. "NO PICTURES PLEASE," they shouted, as they rushed the real St. Nick from my lens. They seemed to be having a lot of fun while staying in character, and interacting with everyone else.
Cheers to the elves for keeping Santa safe from those evil paparazzi photographers!
