Well, that's a wrap on Christmas 2025......<br />
<br />
I was in London a few weeks ago and I happened upon several hundred slightly drunk but good natured Santa's (and Christmas trees) wandering around the Kings Cross area.  Turns out it's an annual event called Santacon and anyone can join in. Maybe see you there next year.....<br />

Santacon is a non-profit, non-political, non-religious and non-sensical Christmas parade that traditionally takes place in London one Saturday every December. There's no particular reason to dress up in Santa suits, run around, give gifts, sing songs, have strangers sit on our laps and decide who is naughty or nice. But it's a lot of fun so Santa does it anyway!<br />
