Where can I get a good Hanukkah jumper?

I've just realised that the Xmas party is on the first night of Hanukkah. I'm a bit hesitant given the current situation but at the time I think it's a good time to be Jewish and proud! I found a few on Amazon and some on Etsy but the problem with the American ones is that I don't know if they get here in time for the party.

Morning OP.
Ah I love this thread. I've always wanted a Chanukah jumper but never found a nice one for women (sorry not helpful!)

My DP got one from Amazon though and it is good quality it's the one Seth Rogen wears in a film. Will dig out the link...

Edit to say it's a pretty unisex jumper.
I've checked and no longer available on Amazon. Good luck in your search!

Every year I plan to design a nice Chanukah jumper and get it printed on a sweatshirt cut for a woman's shape. Every year I forget until it's too late.

This is the one I've got: amzn.eu/d/3y4o1J4

That one is very cute! Ty! I also saw one that said something along the lines of "tis the season to remind everyone I'm Jewish" but thought it was too passive aggressive

I think the choice is better in sweatshirts than in sweaters. The sweaters all seem to be cheesy Christmas rip-offs. At least there are cute sweatshirts.

Agree

But what would you wear that isn't too triggering of a "free Palestine" argument? That's my main concern

That really made me laugh even if it is slightly passive aggressive. Tbh I’m not sure you can avoid getting Free Palestined if you’re visibly celebrating Jewishness at the moment. I believe sackcloth and ashes is the expected attire. I’ve also been trawling Etsy and although I’d choose something more along the lines of @Dilbertian I thought this was apt for current times:

@Dilbertian and @25milesfromhome I think those sweatshirts are fab!

Any open expression of Jewishness right now is an invitation to - something. But I hope that the same professional neutrality that has been in place at work will continue during the season of goodwill. When we are invited to wear Christmas jumpers at work, I shall wear my Channuka jumper.

That's what I truly hope. What made me want to do it is that our Christmas do falls exactly on the first night. Any other night I don't think I would have made any effort. However, this year given the situation it's a good time to show we're not happy to stand in the shadows and live freely as Jews.

Last year, I had Merry Chrismukkah for our work "Christmas Lunch". This year I might go with Meowzel Tov. For my smaller team lunch I wore a "sleigh the patriarchy" jumper which is as close to a Christmas jumper as I own.

I bought the Chanukah one from Amazon and it's a nice enough jumper with a standard print on it, I'm not sure it would survive a lot of washing but not going to wear it often.
