There's a Hipster Santa Claus, Because Portland

Despite the dangers of the man-bun, they're everywhere. Heck, even Santa's got one! That is, hipster Santa Claus from Portland's got one.

It seems that everything this city touches turns into an IPA-drinking, cardigan-wearing, bicycle-pedaling lover of exposed wood and the mall Santa is no exception. Case in point, you can sit on the lap of hipster Santa Claus at Pioneer Place in downtown Portland, Oregon on Thursday evenings.

Koin 6 local news reports that a Santa Claus wearing a flannel, dark jeans, and sporting that signature cardigan is sitting for photos for two more Thursdays. He'll be at the mall's lower level rotunda pavilion on December 10th and December 17th.

So if you're wishing for an organic cotton hoodie, this Santa's the one to ask.
