Drunken Santas Terrorized Lower Manhattan During SantaCon. I think these guys deserve a few drinks, but I think they might have redefined the term, bad Santa.
Thousands of drunken Santas terrorized Lower Manhattan when they flooded into the neighborhood for SantaCon earlier this month, openly flouting public drinking and urination laws, locals say.
Angry residents attended Community Board 1′s Monday night meeting to complain about the latest incarnation of the annual pub crawl, whose participants have been allowed to grow more rowdy every year, they say.
“There was public urination, people vomiting all over the place, open containers and no police,” said John Fratta, chairman of the Seaport/Civic Center Committee which plans to send an angry missive to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly and the 1st Precinct complaining about the lack of enforcement during SantaCon.
All in good cheer. Guess I’m a bit sad that I wasn’t there. LOL

“Bad Santa! Bad bad Santa! Stop that!’
As my grandmother would say “Now play pretty. Don’t act ugly.”
Here’s some balm as relief from ugly acting Santas.

Buttered, that was fabulous. That is such a beautiful piece. I’m listening at home to Nat King Cole’s The Christmas Song. I have this ancient Victrola that makes that (awful) crackling and popping sound (which I like). Funny, huh? I like it and it is snowing in the desert today. Just lovely.

They weren’t Santas at all, but OWS thugs in Santa Suits.

I do like what they do when they are not drinking. They provide a lot of people (young and old) with some food items that they may not otherwise have. A blessed Christmas to you and your family Mary.

The same to you and yours, McN. The Lord grant us peace.

Snow?!?
It’s been almost 70 degrees here for a week.
Here is some snow for the other snowless, and cats for the cat people with and without snow too!

We got several inches and half melted. We are in for another round this evening. Yup, it’s weird here. This is like one Christmas where I was smoking salmon outside in 75 degree weather on Christmas Day. Two days before it had snowed heavily. Looks like it’s happening again.

Jeebus what a fiasco, I am having a hard time believing in this many “accidents”; I am beginning to think they are planning on running Paul.
