Shhh, don't tell the kids, but Santa was drunk, smoking and sporting a shiner at Texas Renaissance Festival's Celtic Christmas. An unlikely hero, maybe, but he was defending the spirit of Christmas. The three-day weekend also included holiday lights, dancing and plenty of Christmas cheer. (Photos by Mark Herman Reyes)
