The Auckland "Santas" said they were part of a global movement
A gang of "Santas" cut a trail of havoc across New Zealand's biggest city in what was meant to be a protest against the commercialisation of Christmas.
About 40 men in ill-fitting Father Christmas costumes ran around Auckland vandalising or stealing property, and throwing bottles, police say.
Two security guards were injured and three of the men were arrested.
... Alex Dyer, a spokesman for the group, said Santarchy was a worldwide movement designed to protest the commercialisation of Christmas ...
Are they suggesting that Christmas be replaced with a festival focused on vandalising and stealing property?

Are you ready for Tokyo Santarchy??
The annual Santarchy event is descending upon Tokyo tomorrow. Have you got your Santa suit ready? Available at Don Quixote all over Japan for a mere 1000 yen.
Anyone interested in coming?
Santarchy will start at Hachiko in Shibuya from 12:00 in the afternoon and last for a few hours I believe. Bring your Christmas cheer and Christmas beer and we'll have a good time.
Anyone interested in going give me an email.

Clearly Tokyo Santarchy is a bit weak compared with other locales, but I think that my addition to the lineup this year may tip the scales against Santarchy Antarctica (or Santarctica).

What a great way of saying "if you f**k with the bull, you get the horn!"The remaining Santas entered a convenience store in the city centre and stole beer and soft drinks.
That's just your basic Kiwi there mate, although I don't know why they needed the soft drinks unless they were short of mix!
Ichigo, you were in Yokohama then weren't you? You didn't by chance go home for the Christmas festivities did you?
hehehe
