I Gotta Represent

Is a Kippah too religiously conservative for a woman to wear?

What gorgeous lips!

How about a long, grey beard.

why not an iron on logo -

CAn you find a costume of a giant Lattke? Dont be ridiculing your people with anything too traditionally religious.

. I can see a lattke running the race, a golden brown , dropping grease trails behind. With applesauce, gotta have applesauce
It will leave everyone with a smile and an appetite. AFter all, isnt that what Judaism is about?

Get a plain sweatshirt. Put on the front:
WHAT'S A NICE JEWISH GIRL
DOING IN A RACE LIKE THIS?

and on the back:
JINGLE
SCHMINGLE

I like this idea! As for Farmerman's suggestion -- tuck a couple of piping hot latkes in your mittens to keep your hands warm (You're running in December? Seriously?)

OOh hot latkes in the mittens. Carbo loading during the race!

And I love the sweatshirt idea!! And the hat!! Hmmm percolating ideas ....

Dreidel barrettes ? ! ? ! ?

There really is such a thing?

Oy . . .

. . . vay too silly . . .

I had just been thinking, an Oy Vey sweatshirt, but then thought, nooooo.

I want this hat!

Well, when you look at the words, "Jingle Bells" has no religious content, one way or the other. It's actually a satirical song--all the Somerville and Medford swells used to get dressed in their fanciest furs and their shiny sleighs, the SUVs of their day, and drive up and down Mystic Avenue on the Somerville-Medford line in the early 19th century, trying to out race and outdisplay each other, and someone wrote the song about that .( "Over the river and thru the woods, to grandmother's house we go" was written about sleighing across the Mystic River, just about a mile away, actually. Ho, ho, ho, weren't we wintry).

So you could create a sweatshirt with "Jingle Belle" on it and fit the nonreligious context perfectly. Or how about "Oy Sleigh".

I have been known to attend informal christmas gatherings and hand out little brown paper gift bags with hershey kisses inside.

they are of course labeled for the season...

I imagine unwrapping them and leaving them by the door (and occasionally snarfing one) would bring forth a reaction similar to the Baby Ruth scene in Caddyshack.

How wonderful. Jingle bells has historical meaning for the vortex. Gotta love that!

I wish they'd put something about the connection of Jingle Bells and Somerville on their website (I followed links within the link to try to find something). It would really add something to the understanding of the song and the run.

Thanks for the information - it's sent me down some interesting thinking trails in the last minutes.
