Santa hats for the season

[matthew]

My usual psychedelic guitar avatar will likely return after Christmas/New Year's Day. However, to welcome in the holiday season I would like to invite as many as are interested in joining in with the silly fun to add a Santa hat to your avatar or create a special avatar for the season. I know that not everyone here is a member of the same religion (in fact, I think it's likely the majority of members here are athiests). No matter. This is not intended to promote one specific religion, etc., I just thought we could have a little frivolous fun.

I'm attaching my special avatar for this year so that when we look back and see this thread in 6 months it will still make sense.

I know it's a little early since Thanksgiving is still two days away, but I just got excited.

[petersjm]

Oh, good-oh! Roll on the festive season (that's what we have to call it at work!)

*dashes off to make a Santa hat*

[matthew]

*bump*

[viper]

Do I qualify ?

[steven8]

I fell in love with this one as I search for santa hat. Still searching. . .

[matthew]

Do I qualify ?Nice! I like it. Yes, you qualify. All colors are welcome.

[gnomeuser]

Why did I read "Santa hate for the season" and rejoiced that I'm not the only one fed up with christmas.

[PatrickMay16]

It's not even December yet!

[PriceChild]

I took extra time to make mine flame retardant...

*s******s*

[ubuntu_demon]

What about this one ? :)

(I will change back to my original avatar in january)

[Ben Sprinkle]

Matthew, can you upload a blank tux avatar? I always was trying to find one. :)

http://geekent.com/blog/archives/pics/grinch-thumb.jpgHey! Is that you in your post? If it isn't, do you know who it is? She's hot. (rotfl at my really stupid inside joke).

[fuscia]

Hey! Is that you in your post? If it isn't, do you know who it is? She's hot. (rotfl at my really stupid inside joke).

i'd put a hat on her, but i'm afraid to touch her head.

[matthew]

I thought I would post a couple of hats for people to use in case you are having trouble finding one. Enjoy!

[Lord Illidan]

Cannot see Lord Illidan with a hat on his head....won't fit among the horns.

[chickengirl]

I still had mine from last year :)

[Peepsalot]

I'm not normally one for holiday spirit, but I decided to join the fun anyways.

For the record, my avatar does not look to be enjoying his hat. :p

[beercz]

OK, here's mine :-)

I couldn't put a santa hat on my avatar (no place to put it so it looks alright), but I did put some nice christmas candy on it instead ^_^

[BigDave708]

Done. :)

I'll upload a full-size version of my avatar in case anyone wants it.

[GStubbs43]

Whoo, I made this wallpaper last week, I stuck part of it in my avatar!

[bobbybobington]

I'm in! Though my avatar was a little hesitant because ewoks were too cool for the Star Wars holiday special.

[firenurse4]

Here's Mine!

[adam.tropics]

Tropical snow! (well gimp and white dots anyway!)

[Perfect Storm]

Good one ^_^

[aidanr]

great idea:KS

[DougieFresh4U]

Sorry I'm not that creative!

[xyz]

OK cool with no religious intentions whatsoever!

In Fribourg, the town where I live, there's a big "Saint Nicolas" tradition.
On the first Saturday of the month of December, there's a big parade all around town which ends up at the "Cathédrale de Saint Nicolas" where "Saint Nicolas" makes a big speech that's supposed to 'scare' little kids out of being mean til next year!

[slimdog360]

Here we go. Its santa time in Jamaica too.

[IusedTObeSOMEONEelse]

oh, hi every one!!!

[steven8]

Made my own! Merry Christmas!!

[beercz]

Whoo, I made this wallpaper last week, I stuck part of it in my avatar!

Cool wallpaper - now my desktop background, assuming that's OK. If not, I'll remove it.

[hoagie]

Here's mine.

[Gustav]

Yay! It's never to early to begin pretending it's Christmas! :D

[DoctorMO]

OK I'm in with some snow flake spangles.

[GStubbs43]

Cool wallpaper - now my desktop background, assuming that's OK. If not, I'll remove it.

Nah, it's fine. I wouldn't have posted it otherwise! It's probably not a good size for most people though. :KS

[delfick]

well, it may be a long time for christmas (and i was gonna wait a little bit before putting the hat on my avatar) but christmas will be really exciting for me cause i find out my marks for TEE :D (Australian thing, it stands for Tertiary entrance exams )

so here's my christmas avatar :D (though i don't think the hat suits it :p)

[adam.tropics]

so here's my christmas avatar :D (though i don't think the hat suits it :p)

lol....for Australia maybe a christmas beany!

[viper]

Lol depends on where abouts in Australia you live, eg: Melbourne it might even snow here on Christmas!! Might need more than a beany :)

There are SO many tux's in there now, I found 3 on a Xmas theme.

I still want one of those tux's in a straitjacket though - an Insane tux.

[Christmas]

Still wondering how will my albatross look like with a Santa hat on the top of his head? :-)

[Christmas]

I have absolutely no vocation for graphics however I tried (hard) using bonzodog's hat. I hope it's not that ugly, my poor "Santa-albatross".

Thanks for the inspiration (and mainly the idea) for my avatar, Thanks!

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh yeah

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells

I'm attaching my special avatar for this year so that when we look back and see this thread in 6 months it will still make sense.

I know it's a little early since Thanksgiving is still two days away, but I just got excited.

Cool idea. I've updated mine with one of the hats you posted. Not too bad a job, if I do say so myself.
