Yes, many years ago Christian leaders decided to make religion more popular by associating the birth of Christ with a commercial holiday.

Nope.

The retailers wanted to cash in on those who felt left out by the Christmas holiday.

Now that was mean.

Two questions (I haven't read the entire thread):

i) Which day were the santa hat smileys introduced this year?

ii) Why don't all of the smileys wear santa hats?

Ho, ho, ho...

i) I believe it was Thursday, 04 December 2003.

ii) Well, it appears that MarkG (or whoever) just revived last year's file, so the short answer is "because we don't have hatted versions of those smileys."

Did what?

The reason that some smilies are unhatted is that they'd look dumb.

I'm absolutely sure they would. And not several days later, either. Definately not after the same smilie has been attached 3 times in the same thread. And I am also quite certain that any PMs sent to admin wouldn't be promptly ignored, either.
