When you think Santa, you think toys, and when you think pub crawls, you think beer. But the real question is how do the two fit together? Well, let me explain. A few Saturdays ago, a friend and his fiance planned their second annual Santa Pub Crawl. This pub crawl takes place at the local watering holes in Salem, Massachusetts. The idea of the pub crawl is to get everyone in the holiday spirit by having all participants dress up in Christmas outfits and hit the town singing, dancing and spreading good cheer (there was more signing and dancing at the end of the night, but good cheer was spread the entire day!). But there is a good cause behind all this. The admission to this pub crawl was that you had to bring an unwrapped toy to be donated to Toys for Tots. The Santa Pub Crawl Toys for Tots drive was such a great success that our organizers efforts were acknowledged by the Boston Bruins organization. This was an awesome event for an awesome cause and it is already penciled in on my calendar for next year!

The awesome organizers…Mr. & Mrs Santa Claus! Who did you expect?!


We even made a stop at the North Pole!

The whole crew…


SO many Santas!
