After hearing several screams from outside my apartment I looked out my window to find hundreds of people dressed in various holiday outfits. I quickly grabbed the camera and went outside as quickly as I could. I struck up a conversation with one of the Santa's off to the side and found out that day, December 12th was 'Santacon'. I didn't quite understand what it was because he didn't provide too many details but also because every minute or so about 20 people would emerge from the subway dressed like those above.
My favorite was by far the gingerbread man but the guy dressed as Will Ferrell in 'Elf' was good, too. I did, however, ask him where he got his costume and he replied: "Macy's" I don't know if this guy was drunk already or trying to keep his shopping spots secret.
I wish I went to the meeting place they were all going to because its hard to convey just how many people there were. Here is the link in case anyone is interested for next year. http://www.nycsantacon.com/
