===================
HO Santa! I hope you're getting ready, because the red menace descends on Seattle this December 17th to spread our special version of Holiday Cheer!
What is Santarchy? I'll tell you what! Its Santa taking a break from making so many freakin' toys. It's a chance to squeeze some elves, drink something other than milk, eat something other than cookies... and make final determinations on who's been Naughty and who's been Nice. This is well known but our little secret is sometimes its NICE TO BE NAUGHTY!

You're MotherFuckingSanta for fucks sake.
Speaking of for fucks....
The FOUR FUCKS OF SANTACON (or Santarchy)
-----------------------------------------------------------
1. Santa does not fuck with KIDS
Kids think Santa is really neat and we want to keep it that way. We are bad Santas not creepy Santas. Kids do not get adult toys, or booze, or messed with in any way. You can give kids regular toys and candy canes if their parents permit. If you are drunk off your ass, your best bet is to steer clear of children entirely.
2. Santa does not fuck with the POLICE
Do not mouth off to cops. Do as they ask. You really don't want to end up in the back of a squad car when your friends are having fun.
3. Santa does not fuck with SECURITY
Security people call cops. Note I'm not saying don't do stuff security won't like, I'm just saying that you should listen to them and walk off their premisis if asked, and then let them move on to the next 300 santas.
4. Santa does not fuck with SANTA
For this fuck consent makes ALL the difference. Heh but all kidding aside we fuck with each other in fun ways, with consent all the time. Stuff that makes Santa mad... don't do it. If you get Santa mad unintentionally, be apologetic and explain that you didn't mean to offend them and wont do it again (and then DONT do it again!). Then offer to buy them a drink. That often solves many Santa vs. Santa problems. Remember... we're here to have fun!
Thanks for reading this far! You should feel special. I took all the time to write this, I for one am glad you are reading it. This is a bonding moment. Cyber-hug! Awwww. Ok you can stop now. Don't give creepy cyber-hugs!
Got a Megaphone? We need you!
