Merry XXX-mas! Girls dressed as Saint Nick might have to go on the naughty list as they flash their Christmas stockings at London's drunken 'Santacon'
Sea of red swept across London's streets as people took part in the annual Santacon parade
St Nicks - complete with a Christmas pooch - guzzled booze as they set off from Hoxton Square
Celebrations are happening across UK with this weekend the most popular date for Christmas parties

Thousands took to the streets dressed as Father Christmas as the annual Santacon parade hit the capital.
A sea of red swept across London after the festive parade kicked off from Hoxton Square this morning.
St Nicks - complete with a Christmas pooch - were seen guzzling booze and singing and laughing as they set off on their annual march.
Those who strayed from the pack, which is easily done after a day of drinking and walking, could even get back on track by checking Santacon's sat nav on its Twitter feed.
And as the day went on they got increasingly rowdy, with some climbing scaffolding, scaling police vans and urinating in groups in public, while others stripped to their stockings.
Santacon is one of many celebrations taking part across the country with this weekend one of the most popular dates for Christmas parties.
Similar Santa events took place across the world with revellers at a notorious pub crawl in Wollongong, Australia letting their hair down.

SANTACON RULES: THE DOS AND DONT'S OF THE 'SILLY FUN' EVENT
Dress up! A Santa hat alone is not enough. You don't have to dress exactly like Santa but the theme is red. That having been said, unusual interpretations of Santa-ness are often appreciated and Christmas trees, elves, reindeer themes etc. are all good.
Have fun.
Don't get drunk.
Address your fellow santa as 'Santa.'
Watch out for elves. Elves work hard for Santa all year and especially hard during the holiday season. Santa loves his elves except when they show up to his red-themed event dressed in green. Traditionally, elves are abused at SantaCon.
Not all these guidelines should be taken seriously.
Some of these guidelines should be taken very seriously. If you can't work out which ones they are then you are not intelligent enough to take part in SantaCon.
Don't get drunk in public. Being drunk &/or disorderly in public will tarnish Santa's reputation. One bad santa can ruin things for an entire location because we're all dressed the same, duh. Also, it's an offense and will get you arrested. Remember that there is no 'bail fund' for incarcerated santas and if you cross the line you'll be on your own. Don't be that Santa.
If you do get drunk in public, you should get into a fight with other santas, get arrested as quickly as possible (before anyone gets hurt), be carted away in handcuffs and have the whole thing recorded on video for the evening news and Youtube.
Santa does not make children cry. Does this really need to be said? Seriously, if you see kids, don't do anything to freak them out. Give them a nice smile and possibly a gift of some kind...
Optionally, bring gifts: Nice things to give children; nice or naughty things for adults.
Do not throw your gifts at anyone, especially if those gifts are raw Brussels sprouts.
Santa dresses for all occasions. If it's cold outside, wear multiple costume layers. Dress to maximize merriment whether singing carols in the snow, or swinging from a stripper pole in a hot nightclub.
Santa doesn't whine! Some SantaCons are supremely well organized and others fall apart within the first 5 minutes. Some involve a lot of walking. Sometimes Santa is turned away. It's all good fun if you choose to have a positive attitude.
Santa does not mess with security. This includes the police. Security staff are there to ensure everyone's safety - it's an important & necessary job. Most venues welcome Santa but some security staff will see you as a potentially dangerous mob wearing disguises (which, let's face it, is probably true). If you are turned away, don't argue - just move on to somewhere Santa is more welcome and can have fun.
