Boston Santacon 2012: Update #1

Listen up, all Ye Merry Santas and Elves:
We're less than 2 weeks away from Go Time. Here's some info from Santa to all you Krazy Kringles:

• Four F's - Who remembers the Four Fs?
• Costumes - Ya got those Santa Pants screwed on yet?
• Toys for Tots - Bring a toy to Game On; first stop of the day!
• Poster - See what our Media Elves have wrought?
• Updates -

* * *
I'm sure a lot of you Snowflakes remember the Four F's from Santacons past, but Santa's gonna remind you anyway. If you're new to the Red Felt Rampage, the Four Fs keep Santas safe and out of trouble, so you better drill this 'til it comes outta your mouth faster than Ho-Ho-Hos or last night's Nog!
What are the Four F's?

• Don't fuck with kids!
• Don't fuck with cops!
• Don't fuck with security!
• Don't fuck with Santa!

And remember: There's no "Bail Fund" for Incarcerated Santas. Any Santas that cross the fun line into asshole land will be told to leave immediately. It's our gracious attitude and good spirit that keeps Santa welcome at these bars. So if you see any Poser Santas breaking the rules, tell them to knock it the fuck off immediately or they’ll get their furry fannies paddled ‘til they fudge their flannels!
