KRINGLE CUFFING (AND OTHER HOLIDAY HOODLUMS)

[HairOfTheDog]

Like gifts beneath a Christmas tree, the arrests piled up during Hoboken's SantaCon, while the town's police chief live tweeted his tally as 17 revelers were booked Saturday.

Hoboken Police Chief Ken Ferrante called the total number of cuffed Kringles "staggering."

Ferrante tweeted that the arrests ranged from aggravated assault to drug possession. At least 55 people were taken to a local hospital during the roughly 16-hour gathering, an annual festival in which merrymakers dressed as Santa Claus visit multiple bars.

The numbers far outpaced the 2016 tally in the New Jersey city just west of Manhattan, when just five were arrested and 23 transported to the hospital.

Jersey, baby.

I don't think Jersey is a real place. I think it's a state of mind.

I've never had the opportunity to visit the state.

But, gotta admit........SantaCon sounds like a damn good time.

SantaCon 2018, here we come!
