Giving Christmas a bad name for 18 years, the annual tradition of Santarchy sees hordes of Santa Clauses gather, get drunk and make merry in cities throughout the world. Tokyo's will be starting from Hachiko in Shibuya at noon on December 17, and anybody hoping to make sense of it all should take heed of a statement on the official website: 'No violence, no insistence, no purpose, no commercialism, no hypocrisy, no money, no spectator, you are Santa.' Amen to that.
