New York Santacon:
Saturday 14th December 2019
This was my first trip to New York since December 2000. It coincided with the annual New York Santacon which is described on the official website as a '“charitable, non-political, nonsensical Santa Claus convention that happens once a year to spread absurdist joy”. Most participants appeared to be students who view Santacon as an excuse to dress up as Santa or an elf and go on a day-long pub crawl (with predictable results).
