Celebrating Hanukkah on the Road

In the past, I'd seen at least two cars with large menorahs on the roofs. Both times I thought, OK, those people have just bought a large menorah, which won't fit in their car, so they have it strapped to their roof. Or as one columnist wrote: "Once again, it's that most wonderful time of the year. Jews all around the world go to their local Menorah groves, pick their favorite fresh menorah, tie it to the roof of the car, and bring it home to decorate for the holidays."

While waiting for the bus today, I saw a car drive by with a menorah on its roof, and the menorah was lit (though not with real candles, which would have made quite a sight). So I guess this is a trend of some kind.
