At one point, Santa was standing proudly... other times, he was flat on his back, per hijinks.
And through some detective work (our fee: $200 per day plus expenses) and some reader comments, we learned how Santa came to town to the park. (Early reports that Santa was nabbed from a lobby turned out to be incorrect.)
This Santa had been holding forth outside East Village Social on St. Mark's Place this past holiday season.
On Sunday night, someone from the bar transported SC to his new resting place... here's a video via Instagram showing Santa on the move (to the gentle strains of George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord."

PLOT TWIST!!! it was EVS all along!!!!
What a fun ending to a really funny story that was a joy to follow all week long! This is the type of lighthearted story we need more of EVGrieve, thank you!!
(I also loved the accompanying George Harrison song... and I need to get as drunk as the camera man who took the video one of these days!)
I love it!
it warmed my heart when Santa got closer and closer to the illuminated tree awwww!!
But was this a set? Why was the park so empty?
Love the video he should be a permanent fixture under the tree thanks guys for doing that!
Fun, sweet little mystery. I love our neighbors. I love our neighborhood. I love this blog. Please pray no more fires.
Maybe EVS Santa has gone north with Rite-Aid Santa?
Nice Rockford Files reference!
Yes! @anonymous at 9:47am, $200 a day plus expenses, in this day and age? Such a deal!
