Santas as Far as the Eye Could See

We went to the Portland Center Stage this afternoon to see the Christmas Story play. It was fantastic, and put us in the spirit of the holiday. What really put things over the top was the 350 0r more people we ran into who were dressed like Santa, or their interpretation of what he looks like. Apparently, this is an annual event organized on Craig's list, to organize a group of Santa lovers to go bar hopping at Christmas. They were an incredibly friendly group. We were invited repeatedly to join them on their travels. The couple below gave us candy canes and a set of reindeer antlers.
Here I am modeling my gifted reindeer antlers. It was so much fun to see them all and the reactions of the folks on the street who stopped to talk to them like we did.
Here are some more of the "Santas". I didn't know he smoked, did you?
This young woman had a name badge that said 'Naughty Santa', not sure how she earned that name.
You have to love Portland, you never know what you are going to see downtown!
