Did you see a lot of folks dressed extra Christmassy in Eureka today? They might have been part of SantaCon. This international series of …uh…bar crawls is designed to make merry and raise money for various causes. The one in Eureka today raised money for Food for People.

If you didn’t get to see these folks, here’s your chance in the following photos.

I think SantaCon is terrible, i was in San Francisco last year during this event, and the streets were packed with drunken, brawling, cigarette smoking Santas. It was awful. What a terrible concept… drunken Santa’s.
