Would You Consider A Santa Hat: 2019 · 7:32am Dec 1st, 2019
Now that Thanksgiving is over in the US, I can finally stop cringing when I hear Christmas songs being played everywhere (Y’know, I never hear them play Hanukkah songs…). So with the Christmas spirit finally flowing through my veins, it’s that time again.
For any newbies that may be reading this, there’s a tradition around FimFiction that, while not everyone follows it, quite a few of us do. Way back when, The Descendant started a trend where every year around the start of December, users would put a Santa hat on their avatars through the holiday season, then see how many other users randomly pop up with Santa hats on theirs.
The way to do it is pretty easy. You just need a program like Microsoft Paint—I used Google Drawings in Drive—and a Santa hat .gif or .png. You can find quite a few here, or you can google search for others.
The Descendant isn't currently active on the site—sadly, he seems to have left us for good—but many of us still carry on his tradition. It would be great to see how many people will keep it up, so come join us and don a hat yourself! And if you feel so inclined, post about the tradition also!
I put it on way back when and never took it off.
Will do! This is a great tradition
