'Tis the Season

It’s Santa time, everyone! Back in the old days, there was only one Santa and he was only seen on Christmas Eve. And that was only if you were supremely lucky enough to spot him coming down your chimney or eating the cookies left out for him. Then he got so popular he had to branch out. Through some magical winter phenomenon, or possibly exposure to secret toxic chemicals, Santa began to multiply.

Santas appeared in shopping malls, in front of businesses waving bells and collecting donations, at schools and hospitals. Then he broke into the big time and appeared on the big screen and television.

Every year, there are increasingly larger numbers of Santa sightings. How about joining the fun? Join a Santa event or, even better, start your own.






Santa Run or Walk. Join a bunch of fit Santas out for a 5 or 10K run/walk or a get a group of Santas together for a bar-hopping walk.



Santa Ride. Hook up with your local bike club and peddle through the streets of town or out on the trails. Decorate your bikes with lights and ornaments or make them up to look like reindeer and go for it. Or do the Santa Ride on a motorcycle. Nothing says Christmas time better than a group Biker-Santa’s cruising the highways.



Santa Theme Party. Invite a bunch of your favorite Santas for some dance floor fun or rocking-out Kris Kringle style. Whether it be at a club, bar, or house you’ll have a blast with all the sexy and fun Santa variations that show up. No better way to heat up the holiday nights.



Santa Paddle Out. All you water-loving Santa’s out there, grab your wetsuits and Santa hats and hit the water, whether it be to surf, stand up paddle, or kayak. The sleigh isn’t only ride Santa enjoys.

Santa Date. Take your favorite mistletoe partner our for a jolly good time. Whether it’s dinner and a movie or a more creative date, you’re fun-meter will be at the top dressed as Mr. and Mrs. Claus for the night.
