I meant to link to this last year but by the time I remembered it wasn't worth putting up. Since I actually remembered to do so this year how do people feel about temporarily changing our banner to this Christmas/Winter themed one below?
Not that everyone here may celebrate Christmas (?), it was just for a bit of fun really for us to put up this time year. Nothing extravagant with animated flashing coloured lights or anything like that hehe. Yes/No?

I say "let it snow, let it snow, let it snow". Besides, not seeing any of the lovely white here in SoCal so might as well get it wherever I can.

It looks pretty good. I dont have any objections, it'll make a nice change.

It looks nice I'll be happy to swap it in if others agree!

I'm offended that your christmas/winter themed banner is entirely unoffensive to me. On the other hand, it does look rather good. Though, do you Brits really want something to remind you that you just got snowcrapped on? I'm all for it either way, mind you

Swapped it in now, as everyone should be able to see. I'll put the regular banner back at the start of January

Taken this down now until next year. Thanks to MS for providing it - I've enjoyed having it up

I agree. Winter's not dead yet.

For some of us, Winter is dead. Out here in sunny San Diego it's blue skies and 70F/21C with no expected rain for a good while.

I was under the assumption that it was given to me as a Christmas banner Besides, it makes it less special if we have it up for a quarter of the year.
But if people really want it leaving up till March technically I could put it back up.

Mostly yep, though appropriate for this time of the year too so kinda fit both purposes. Just got some more snow today lol.Anubis wrote:I was under the assumption that it was given to me as a Christmas banner
I'm fine with it being left up for the rest of winter if that's what people want but I do agree with Anny that it may make it less special if it's up for too long. I have enjoyed having it up.
There's one other thing too which nobody seems to have mentioned and that's that there IS a subtle santa's sleigh in and amongst all the snow effects too which would only really be appropriate between Dec - Jan 6th, imo. I could remove the sleigh of course and just switch to the second version after the 6th each year. Wouldn't be any hastle as it just means hiding a layer which would only take a second. Just shout if needed

Too subtle. Next time give it a red and white striped shirt and beanie. That way maybe even I'll be able to spot it

So, before Winter wastes away, what do we want to do on this? Leave it as it is, or put up a new Santa-less banner until March?

How to keep an idiot busy for 6 minutes:
1. Discuss having hidden a sleigh in a wintery banner.
2. Post a link to a revised banner hoping the idiot hasn't bothered to read the text under the revised banner link.
