Santas Get Their Metro Passes

The annual SantaCon festivities kicked-off in Manhattan at the World Financial Center on Saturday, December 11th. As Santas from all parts gathered at the dockside plaza, elves, reindeer, grinches, and penguins could also be seen mingling with the crowd.

Around noon the assembled Santas and cohorts began to spread out across lower Manhattan, searching for a pub that wasn't already crammed with Santas.
