SantaCon in San Francisco: Ready or not, those ho-ho-hos are coming




San Francisco Chronicle Bay Area - Spoken Edition show

Summary: A warning to all Santas. Don’t get plastered. And yet, Santa will get plastered. Hundreds of Santas. That’s what happens at SantaCon, the annual ad hoc gathering in downtown San Francisco of wobbly men and women in Santa and Mrs. Claus suits. It’s unofficial, it’s an institution, it’s either charming or obnoxious. Ready or not, it’s on for Saturday. In San Francisco, SantaCon is acknowledged if not sanctioned.
