i can say that out of the thousands of santacon participants last saturday, i was the
ONLY
elf on the shelf
that i saw!! there were
plenty
of girls with next to nothing,
plenty
of drunkeness,
plenty
of almost-accidents between pedestrians and cars,
plenty
of over-crowded bars with lines out the door...
i DIYed my costume last year but couldn't participate in santacon because
we were dealing with our water to the building being shut off
! the costume was simple though: i cut the biggest circle i could out of white fleece material, then cut a smaller (12" diameter) circle in the middle, and made 1 cut from the inner circle to the outside. i cut and hot-glued red felt flower petals to the white fleece, and i was done! red tights, red turtle-neck, red and white hat, and some red shoes (i already had some
red corduroy toms
)
luckily we found
a bar
with no lines, not too crowded, snagged seats, and enjoyed our $3-4 beers (crazy cheap price for manhattan on a saturday!), got our
street meat
afterwards, and headed home to finish making
pom garland
and
buffalo chicken dip
(not our exact recipe, but this is the easy version :P) before taking off again for our friends' holiday party at
the beacon
.
definitely a busy, but fun weekend!
only a few more days until we get to see our families for the holidays!!
(...so much to do before now and then though :/)

Just happen to click on your blog and think that it's amazing that you were a part of Santa Con and that you were a little Elf on the Shelf!
We are New Yorkers too and my kiddos were a bit perplexed about all of the Santas wandering around us. So glad to now be following you. Best - Monica
thanks everyone! santacon is so fun... i can't wait to see what i come up with next year!
It's very easy to find out any matter on web as compared to textbooks, as I found this post at this site.
