We interrupt your Halloween festivities to announce that Los Angeles Santacon will happen on Saturday, December 9, 2023. (The second Saturday of December.)
It’s a metro year, so get your TAP card and start thinking about comfy shoes.
RSVP on Facebook, if that’s your thing.
Also, I don’t know about you, but as an OG Santa, I normally throw my Santa outfit together a day or two before Santacon. This year, I’m thinking maybe it’s time for a new Santa suit. (I can barely fit into my almost 20 year old Santa jacket - and those pants - they are long long gone.)
How’s the state of your Santa suit?
Anyway, get to thinking about what Holiday attire you’re gonna wear come December 9. Classic Santa suit is as OG Cacophony as it gets - especially if you order it from the Oriental Trading Company. (The original cheapsuit Santa was $19.99.) Which back in the day, was something you had to plan for months in advance (unless you had a friend who bulk ordered them.) I’ve heard the quality has gone down and the price has gone up, so buyer beware.)
“Anyone can be a Santa. All it takes is a red suit and a white beard and strangers will treat you like a rich uncle. Ever notice how Santa’s got a lot of aliases? Kris Kringle, Father Christmas, Saint Nick…if anyone else had that many aka’s, what would you think?” (source)
Whether you plan your Holiday attire or throw it together at the last minute (Target has come through for me in the past) we will see you and your comfy footwear on Saturday, December 9th, starting probably around Noon, near a Metro station.
Ho ho ho!
