PHOTOS: Santas in Skivvies Spread Holiday Joy in the Castro

Nothing says holiday season like half-naked men in red briefs skipping through the Castro spreading joy from cheek to cheek. This Sunday, San Francisco’s longstanding tradition of religious irrelevance continued. And this time it was all for a good cause.

The Santa Skivvies Run is an annual fundraiser for HIV prevention as part of the SF AIDS Foundation’s Greater Than One program. The race began at the LookOut and went all around the gayborhood continuing around Dolores Park. Due to the chilly, overcast weather, Santas’ packages were noticeably smaller than last year. Luckily our GayCities photographer captured all the Santalicious action.
