Here are the Santa Run Rules......as told by the legend himself, Doug Lynch:
1. Make sure you always pay for your drinks as soon as you get them and tip the bar staff. We want to be able to do this again so be polite and cultivate the goodwill of the local community.
2. Watching Santa get drunk and rowdy is fun. Babysitting Santa while he vomits in an alley is not. Don't be that Santa.
3. "No Santa left behind!" Don't think only of yourself - Santa is not inconsiderate of his fellow Santas. Pick a few Santas you know and keep an eye out for them when it's time to move to the next location. If you don't see them, go find them! Every Santa should have at least 2-3 other Santas they look out for and 2-3 that look out for them in turn.
4. Stay with the group. It's not just a case of "the more, the merrier" - Santa is safer with large numbers of fellow Santas and what one Santa can't achieve (or get away with) is a possibility for 50 or more!
5. Santa doesn't drink & drive and neither should you. If you're going to drink you must make sure that you can get safely home without driving yourself.
6. Have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
