Right now my job is having a "Fun things to do with noodles for the holidays contest". (A mouthful to say, I know!) I have the privilege of getting to read some of these answers as they get turned in. Here are some of the responses we've gotten so far:
The 3 most common responses:
1. Eat them
2. Bathe in them
3. Use them as tinsel on the Christmas tree
Some winter holiday-related ones so far include:
1. glue to roof as a landing strip for Santa's sleigh
2. build a noodle menorah and call it a 'menoodlah'; then make a dradle of noodles and sing "dradle, dradle, dradle, I made it out of noodle!"
3. use as hay in a manger
4. make a Santa Claus beard
5. give Frosty the Snowman some hair
6. break uncooked noodles into confetti for New Year's!
7. use different noodles for every night of Channukah (rice, chow mein, lo mein, spaghetti, ramen, etc.)
Some people got into the cooking/giving aspect and came up with:
1. buy $250 worth of noodles and feed the homeless
2. cook and shape noodles into snowflakes; freeze in wax paper and hang outside for birds and squirrels to eat
3. make Christmas noodle pudding
4. at the Thanksgiving meal, give everyone 5 spaghetti noodles and say 5 things they are thankful for; cook these noodles during the Christmas holiday, and this becomes your 'thankful food'
Some craft ideas, for you artsy people, include:
1. make noodle angels instead of snow angels
2. make noodle canes by boiling noodles in peppermint-scented water
3. make a noodle house, hold together with plum sauce and decorate with peanuts (mmm...tasty)
4. make wreaths with cooked noodles; use uncooked ones for bouquets
5. use as ribbon on a package
And finally, some outright silly ideas and my personal favorites!:
1. whip people with wet noodles (what?!)
2. make a slip-and-slide out of wet noodles (why would you do this in winter?!)
3. stage a production of "The Nutcracker" starring 'noodles only'
4. noodle wrestling (what exactly does this look like?)
5. throw wet noodles on wet blankets (huh?)
I can't believe how ridiculously silly some of these are, but people are getting creative. I wonder if any of them have actually tried some of their own suggestions! Feel free to comment/add to this list if you have something creative. Why not just enter it into the contest? Prize is a $250 Zao Noodle gift card!

That was cute, these are myfavorites:
build a noodle menorah and call it a 'menoodlah'; then make a dradle of noodles and sing "dradle, dradle, dradle, I made it out of noodle!"
cook and shape noodles into snowflakes; freeze in wax paper and hang outside for birds and squirrels to eat
My own noodle invention:
Start to tell a person a joke, "what do you get when you cross an unsuspecting person, and a handful of wet noodles?"
They respond, "What?"
You respond, "I don't know, you tell me." Then proceed to throw a handful of wet noodles, that you've been hiding behind your back the whole time, at their face.
(Let me know if I win.)
