Michael and I saw a bit of this when we were heading to the bus that took us to Philly last weekend and it was driving us nuts--WHAT is up with all these Santas? It was a lot of Santas even for 34th Street in Manhattan. Finally I found out about Santacon and this slide show from the NY Times is very amusing. I also made myself laugh thinking about a Stewartcon.
