Are we doing Christmas Avatars again?
What? Why y'all looking at me? ****, I just asked.

For you newbies, somebody (Ixnay?) photo-shopped a bunch of Santa hats on our avatars last year for Christmas. I was wondering if we're going to do the same again, and if we're going to stick with the Santa hat theme. I'm only good for messing with my control panel about once a year, so if it's time for a change, it's time for a change: I'm ready.

Yeah, your avatar still has the Xmas hat, and so does Dr Strangelove's. What bums!

I have a feeling that my avatar would look real silly with a Santa hat.

But if it's Xmas, it's Xmas.

I'm up for it

Well, you'd have to wait for me to switch back to Alec Guinness. I'm not putting a hat on the bvm.

Nah, no Christmas avatar for me this year. Unless I decide to use the one I made for last Christmas. Maybe. Dunno yet. It's not Christmas exactly yet. Over 1 month to go.

I think I still have the old Ed that was Christmasized. And if not, it's still on the forums somewhere. I probably won't need this one with hats...

EDIT: Yes, I've got the Ed one. It will go up in December. (Thinking of Christmas already!? Damn, Thanksgiving isn't even here yet! )

So basically, Maniac, you 'll be using your Santa hat after he's gone but before he is actually here and no doubt you' ll be wearing it even after he left...
