I didn't know where to ask this question.

Whats up?

Hi David. Not only birds, look at the "hats" above people's avatar.

It is a seasonal celebration which our Admin, Nick and others have concocted.

Should you wish to get rid of this; Click on your name on the Forums toolbar, select "Preferences", scroll down and check the box "Disable Holiday Styling", then "Save".

There are likely to be more of these at suitable festive seasons, I believe.

Only if you've been nice. Naughty members will see nothing but lumps of coal. :p
If that's the case, it's probably best for me to leave the special stuff turned off until well into the new year.
