Sonríeles y si puedes, dales algún      regalo de algún tipo ( caramelos, algún juguete). Los padresy los turistas      son otra casa- compórtate dependiendo de su acitud&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 15pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;Santa se viste para todas las ocasiones. Es      diciembre. Los Santas listos llevan varia capas en el disfraz. Vístete para      maximizar la diversión mientras cantas villancicos en la nieve o te      cuelgas de una barra en un club de strippers por la noche.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 15pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;¡Santa no se queja! Estaremos mucho tiempo fuera      yendo de un sitio a otro a pie.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 15pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;Trae regalos: regalos “ traviesos” para los      mayores; bonitos para los niños. No aconsejamos tirar carbón a la gente,      no importa quiénes sean. SI; ESO INCLUYE A LOS POLITICOS.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 15pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;Ver como santa se emborracha es divertido. Cuidar a      santa mientras vomita en una esquina no. No seas ese santa.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 15pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;Asegúrate de que siempre pagas tu cerveza y deja      propina a los camareros. Queremos poder hacer esto otra vez, así que se      educado y cultiva el buen rollo de la gente.. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 15pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;Por favor, paga por tu bebida en cuanto la pides.      Los santas se cansan de esperar a que otros santas paguen su consumición      antes de seguir. En toda esta aventura debería pagarse solo en efectivo&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 15pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;“Ningún santa se queda atrás”- No pienses solo en      el número uno. Santa no es un desconsiderado&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;con los otros santas como él. Elige a un      grupo de santas y mira dónde están cuando llega el momento de cambiar de      bar. Si no los ves, dilo para que los otros santas esperen un momento.      Cada santa debería cuidar a dos o tres santas y que le cuiden también.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 15pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;quédate con el grupo. No es solo por que mientras más      seamos mejor nos lo pasamos-Santa está más seguro con un gran número de      compañeros santas y lo que un santa no puede conseguir, tal vez sea      posible para 50 o más santas!!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 15pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;¡Disfrázate!!! No tienes que disfrazarte exactamente      como Santa. De hecho, interpretaciones extrañas de Santa son mucho más      apreciadas, tanto por aquelllos a los que llevamos alegría como por los      otros compañeros santarquistas. ¡¡Elfos, renos, etc, también están bien!!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 15pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;Por favor, recuerda que se trata de pasárselo bien.      La mayoriá de los santas beben, lo que está bien. No está bien      emborracharse hasta el punto de volverse violento o abusivo. Recuerda que      no hay un depósito para pagar la fianza de santa y si te pasas de rosca, estarás      sólo.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 15pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;Santa no bebe y conduce, y tampoco debería hacerlo      tú. Si vas a beber asegúrate de que llegas a casa seguro sin conducir. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 15pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;ES UN DEBER llamar a todo el mundo “ Santa”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 15pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;ES UN DEBER hacer “ ho ho ho” como Santa&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 15pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;DEBERÍAS dar regalos como Santa&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 15pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;PODRÍAS querer beber como Santa.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 15pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;Santa no habla con la prensa. Incluso “ ho ho ho”      es demasiado peligroso.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 15pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;Santa no acaba arrestado…por favor, lee los      consejos y léete estas normas otra vez.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 15pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;Si has llegado a esta regla significa que no te has      colgado en un bucle leyendo las normas una y otra vez como dice la regla      anterior. ¡Por lo tanto, eres lo suficientemente inteligente para      participar en Santacon!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 15pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;Ten una ¡FELIZ NAVIDAD!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4 style="padding: 10px 0pt 2px; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;SANTACON GUIDELINES:&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;ol style="margin-right: 30px; text-align: justify; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;li class="lispaced"&gt; Santa does not make children cry. Really, if you see kids, don't do anything to freak them out. Give them a nice smile and possibly a gift of some kind (toys, candy etc). Parents and tourists are a different matter altogether - adjust based on their attitude. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="lispaced"&gt;Santa dresses for all occasions. It's December. Smart santas wear multiple costume layers. Dress to maximize merriment whether singing Christmas carols in the snow, or swinging from a stripper pole in a hot nightclub. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="lispaced"&gt;Santa doesn't whine! We will be outside a lot and commuting mainly on foot - bring enough "snacks" to keep your pie-hole filled until we get indoors. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="lispaced"&gt;Bring gifts: NAUGHTY gifts to give grown ups; NICE stuff to give kids. Throwing coal at people is discouraged no matter who they are. YES THAT INCLUDES POLITICIANS. But giving out coal might actually be appreciated. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="lispaced"&gt; Watching santa get drunk and rowdy is fun. Babysitting santa while he vomits in an alley is not. Don't be that santa. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="lispaced"&gt;Make sure you always pay for your beer 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. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="lispaced"&gt;Please pay for your drinks as soon as you get them. Santas get tired of waiting on other santas to clear their tab before being able to move on. This entire adventure should be cash only. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="lispaced"&gt;"No santa's left behind!" - Don't think only of #1. Santa is not inconsiderate of his fellow santas like that. Pick a few people 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, speak up so other santas know to wait a moment. Every santa should have at least 2-3 other santas they look out for and 2-3 that look out for them in turn. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="lispaced"&gt;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! &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="lispaced"&gt;Dress up! You don't have to dress exactly like Santa proper. In fact, unusual interpretations of Santa-ness are much appreciated, both by those we bring joy to - as well as your fellow santarchists! Elves, reindeer themes etc. are fine as well! &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="lispaced"&gt;Please remember that this is all about having fun. Most santas like to take their fun with a little alcohol which is fine. What is not fine, however, is getting completely sh#t-faced to the point that santas end up being abusive or violent. Remember that there is no "bail fund" for incarcerated santas and if you cross the line you'll be on your own. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="lispaced"&gt;Santa doesn't drink &amp;amp; drive and neither should you. If you're going to drink you must make sure that you can get safely home without driving yourself. Check public transport, carpool with a designated sober driver, make arrangements to sleep over at someone's place etc. Organizers sometimes try to coordinate transportation to get santas safely home. Check the message boards and groups for your local SantaCon to find out if this is being done in your area. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="lispaced"&gt; You MUST address everyone as "Santa." &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="lispaced"&gt; You SHOULD "ho-ho-ho" like Santa. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="lispaced"&gt; You OUGHT to give out gifts like Santa. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="lispaced"&gt; You MIGHT want to drink like Santa &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="lispaced"&gt; Santa doesn't talk to the press. Even "Ho-ho-ho" is too dangerous these days. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="lispaced"&gt; Santa doesn't get arrested - please read Santa's "four &lt;span class="fk"&gt;fuck&lt;/span&gt;s" (top right) and then read these guidelines one more time. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="lispaced"&gt;If you have reached this rule, it means you didn't get locked into a loop reading the guidelines over and over again as per the previous rule. You are therefore intelligent enough to take part in SantaCon! &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="lispaced"&gt; Have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6463883737785024190-4837829537838884288?l=santaconspain.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://santaconspain.blogspot.com/feeds/4837829537838884288/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://santaconspain.blogspot.com/2009/12/reglas-de-santacon-santacon-gudielines.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6463883737785024190/posts/default/4837829537838884288'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6463883737785024190/posts/default/4837829537838884288'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://santaconspain.blogspot.com/2009/12/reglas-de-santacon-santacon-gudielines.html' title='REGLAS DE SANTACON / SANTACON GUDIELINES'/><author><name>Madwomanintheattic</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
