A Santa-free incentive



As you probably know, SantaCon is fast approaching on Dec. 13.

Although organizers have yet to announce what neighborhood their participants will terrorize, Santa-clad bargoers will abound that day anyway everywhere whatever …

Which is why Jimmy's No. 43 at 73 E. Seventh St. between Second Avenue and Cooper Square is offering this happy-hour incentive: "If you don't dress up like Santa, you get $2 off drafts 12 noon - 6 p.m."

This is not an incentive for people to not dress as Santa, it's just a reward for regulars.

Will this work? If any Santas want to drink in this bar, they'll go there expecting to pay full price. Seeing that others are paying less will probably not deter them.

This is a nice idea but Jimmy's is not the kind of place the Santas congregate in the fist place.

It's official. Santacon has killed off the Christmas spirit in EV. When a community finds itself calling for a backlash against "Santa", something has gone seriously wrong. We are truly a godless, immoral bunch in 2014. But really who cares--the Christmas spirit in America is seriously ill anyways.

I can't tell if 11:20 is serious, but there are few things less "godless" than Santa Claus. Santa is about as pagan as it gets. And if it's "immoral" you're looking for, I can't think of too many things less savory than having your child sit on some strange old man's lap and letting him decide if the kid is "naughty" or "nice." He sees you when you're sleeping?! Fucking pervert.

If anything is wrong with society it's dunderheaded, pious Christians not even knowing what their high holy days are actually about. Birth of Christ? Who cares about that when people are disrespecting a fictional old fat man!!

83 arrests during last night's protest.

I'm sure there'll be 0 arrest during SantaCon on NYPD won't be chokeholding anyone.

Santacon will choke the neighborhood. I can't breathe.
