Santa Crawl

Have you been naughty or nice this year? Depends on how you ask. (photo from the 2009 Santa Crawl by slyhdesign/Flickr)

If you were stuck on a desolate snowy island with a bunch of high-pitched squeaky elves making toys for spoiled children all day long, wouldn’t you need a drink?

On Saturday December 17th, hundreds of Santas will be taking to the streets and getting their drink on at this year’s 6th annual Santa Rosa Santa Crawl.  Anyone who has even a tiny bit of Christmas spirit is invited to don a Santa hat, red jacket, ruby bustier, elf wear, reindeer antlers, snowman attire, a sexy Mrs. Claus dress, or anything else you deem holiday related, and head out for a night of elfish mischief.

The evening starts at 6pm at The Belvedere, and then winds down Mendocino Ave and around the downtown area until it ends at El Cocqui.  It’s suggested that you get there on time, but if you end up a little late just look for the giant crowd of Santas and helpers.

Here are the drink specials for the night, as well as a list of where to go:
