I don't see it

You dress up as Santa and go drinking?

And how many of you are going to do it

Last year over 35,000 people amassed in NYC to participate in SantaCon. Reports of bad behavior prompted a lieutenant in a Hell's Kitchen police precinct to write a warning letter to area bars. An "official" SantaCon Twitter account had to remind followers that "no means no." Police Commissioner Kelly later said that the city has no beef with SantaCon, but the message was clear: has SantaCon gotten completely out of hand? How will it manage thousands more Santas? What does the founder of SantaCon, who started the tradition in 1994, think of the current iteration? "I wouldn't care if New York banned it. I don't like the violence or the assholishness that happens."


...

Early on, many of the participating Santas knew each other. Accountability in one's social circle acted as a check on boorish conduct. By 2005, that had changed. A few Santas began to use the anonymity that made the event so magical to cloak their abusive behavior. "You know in the back of your mind that those people exist, but you never expect them to be participating in the thing you're participating in. We didn't go to them, but now the lunkheads were coming to us."
