Official Santa Hat Extravaganza 2020: Pandemic Version

Hey all!

MightyDuck here. Thanksgiving is officially over (at least here in Chicago) so you know what that means!? It's time to don those Santa Hats and celebrate the holiday season.

If you're new to the site, and have no clue what I'm talking about let me fill you in! Back in day (at least when I found the site in 2009) users would switch their avatars over to versions with Santa Hats to celebrate the holidays. This led to the site at one point having a built in feature to do this. However, overtime that feature was removed so I've been trying to keep it going over the last handful of years.

I'll be honest, between civil unrest, a worldwide pandemic, and the chaos of the US presidential election, this year has SUCKED...so let's spread a little cheer eh? So, if you have updated your avatar at some point this year and need a new santa hat one made, just holler and I'll do my best to get it to you as soon as possible.

Take care everybody and stay safe!

Thanks for the reminder, the hats have been donned.

Do I look good in my hat?

Side thought, why don't more ppl wear santa hats in real life? Seems like a thing to do.

@liquiddragon: with the way this year has gone, I'd say that idea doesn't sound too shabby!

Santa hat tradition is the best tradition

If MightyDuck can't get to you with a Santa hat, I'll also be around to help out.

@monkeyman04: thanks duder for your help this year and all the years in the past!

I never took it off.

Already got mine but I love the spirit of these threads.

@sparky_buzzsaw: Good to hear!

Over the last few years, I've noticed the requests have really dried up a bit. My hope is that it's because we've been doing it for so long everyone already has one, or the boards aren't as active due to Discord, etc., which makes sense.

Santa Hats are BACK, BAYBEEEEEE. Tossing mine on right now

Heh, this made me realize I never took off the Santa hat.

The Cheat needs to get his Santaman hat on!

@undeadpool: Voila! If you would prefer the Santa Hat on top of the box instead, just let me know.

I haven't changed by avi on this site since Ryan passed except for the Xmas hats and this little 2020 update I made in 2 minutes

@mightyduck: HAW! Honestly? I just love seeing where it gets placed every year...but if it's not too much trouble, I'd be curious how it looks.

Edit: Cancel request, I don't think it'd track well with the circular avatar pic.

@undeadpool: No problem! If you change your mind or want it in a different spot just holler.

I just put Alex's ball in me because mouths can't wear hats and I am a mouth.

@splodge: I can dig it!

been using it for years

I would like to introduce you to the Santa Hat Grill! XD

@monkeyman04: oh SHIT!

Lol ty duder I am definitely using this now. Hahha its great, good work :D

@splodge: I'm glad you like it. XD

I've been meaning to remove my Christmas hats for nearly 2 years now. Wow, how time does go on.

If my Charmander could get a hat that'd be dope!

@dew: Here you go!

@monkeyman04: looks great, thanks a lot!

I still rock the one you made last year

Sweet looking Charmander!

@mightyduck: Any chance you can pop a Santa Hat on top of an existing hat? :)

@xtinet: of course! Just have one more class to teach today and then I'll get cracking on this for ya!

@mightyduck: No rush, thank you kindly!

@xtinet: I know you asked mightyduck, but here's my attempt. You can wait to see what he does.

Ah! Thank you very much! Now she's a festive zombie killa!

@xtinet: Looks awesome! Thanks for the save @monkeyman04!

@mightyduck @monkeyman04: Thanks again and Happy Holidays!

@xtinet:I'm glad you like it. XD

@mightyduck: Hey! No problem! That's why I'm here.

Bump. Still time to get a hat before Christmas.

Sign me up!

@giraffeattack: Here ya go!

Hey everybody! Here's to one final bump this holiday season. One more week to get those Santa Hat requests in. If you need one holler. Special thanks @monkeyman04 for all the help this year!!

HATS HATS HATS!!!

Thank you all for another successful Santa Hat thread. Special shout out to @monkeyman04 for his help again this year.

Here's to a better 2021, and we'll see ya again next year. Merry Christmas, Happy New Years, and stay safe!
