Well the annual Boston Santa Speedo Run took place over the weekend. Hundreds of Bostonians donned Santa hats to raise money for local children's charities. Runners braved the brisk winter temperatures in little more than their underwear. It started 12 years ago amongst five friends in a bar, and the run has exploded into a holiday tradition with hundreds of participants raising more than $1 million for children’s charities. One team of runners raised close to $20,000 alone.

Well I have to admit it's a unique and fun way to raise money! But still....not even a Santa hat can 'cute up' a speedo. Well ok....some of them were kinda cute.....
