This weekend, we participated in an epically ridiculous event. Santacon Seoul 2010. People dressed as Santa, parading around the streets of Seoul? Where else would we be? Santacon started in San Francisco and has since spread around the world. Santacon Seoul started as a small group of foreigners, but has since grown. The event drew hundreds of foreigners eager to make spectacles of themselves. There were Santas of all shapes, sizes and genre. Jolly Santas, Gangsta Santas, Einstein Santas and Glam Rock Santas. There were even Santas with hopefully placed mistletoe dangling from their hats. We joined the throng of St. Nicks in singing songs and sending Christmas wishes to the confused passersby.
If one Santa makes you think of Christmas, then hundreds of them will really bring you into the holiday spirit!
Mr. and Mrs. Claus
We thought it was fitting that the mass of Santas warmed up in an establishment called HO Bar III.
Our friend Teddy, wearing his Santa beard with pride.
What better thing to do while dressed as Santa than to dance in the crosswalk during the 'walk' signal?
When the 'stop' signal came on, the dancers rushed to the sidewalk, only to recommence when it turned green again.
Merry Christmas!!!!
One of the Santacon leaders yelling, "Ho! Ho! Ho! Santa's gotta go!" as the hords of Santas paraded on to the next location.
The many different hats of Santa!

There was a Santa balloon pass relay. This was our amazing, winning team! Woot Woot!

We met Robin outside the best taco truck ever! Holy corn tortillas and cilantro Batman!!

We had a grand time at Santacon. We look forward to being part of Portland's Santacon next year!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
