Is anyone going to design christmas caps for the new banned smilies?

We have hats from last year, we just need them for the smilies we have acquired during the year.
But yes that style is what I think DC is after

I have to admit that whenever I see or hear the word Christmas my attention is immediately gained.
Wonder why?

Lets not cap the smilies. Its far too twee.

The mad smiley does look kind of surreal with a Christmas cap on... but I like it.
Visit the Vote UK Discussion Forum!
I vote in favour of giving all the smilies caps for a few weeks around christmas. It will add some festive cheer to this place
BTW, I'm looking forward to these guys wearing christmas caps:

I think the naughty smilie will be a riot with Christmas cap.

Well, maybe someone can put yamakkahs (sp?) on the smilies?

umm Crunch, Mr.Santa Claus has nothing to do with the true meaning of Christmas.
Zilch, nothing, nada...
The christmas we know today is a mere spectacle. A Corporate holiday, to get you spend more and more. We all participate in this spectacle....
I thought you might have seen the sarcasm...

Big Crunch, you're right we aren't mind readers.But it is a good reason for you to focus on the word.
SITS, Santa Claus is to Christmas as Muhammad Ali, the boxer, is to Islam. There is a relationship perhaps, but it is quite dim in the eyes of most of us. As to the hats, I'll bet a lot of us would have fun with hats at all sorts of holidays. Others, such as Gasmaske, would regard all of it as "too twee," even tho smilies themselves sans hats are pretty twee.

Faded and Blaupanzer - I agree that a Santa cap isn't necessarily a reference to christ etc but the title of this thread is 'Christmas Caps...' and a few posters repeat the phrase 'Christmas caps...' before I posted. Now if the thread was 'Santa caps' then it wouldn't be excluding a large section of the worlds population and I wouldn't need to post with my tongue slightly in my cheek!
The use of the word Christmas is christen-centric and from what I understand of America they use Holiday season instead so they don't exclude anyone. Which doesn't sound like a bad idea in the current international situation...

If I could have one capped smiley as a model, I'm sure I could design caps for the smileys in no time.

You guys are strange....caps for smilies?

...Some people take offence at anything- I'm not offended by the fact that Muslims celebrate Ramadan- Why should anyone be offended by others celebrating their religious holidays?Originally posted by SITS

Bah lets have one of those ugly Kwanzaa hats too
DC - I'm not sure it is about people being offended by others celebrating another religion it is the assumption that their religion/beliefs are the only ones etc. This can be conveyed by language as well as actions. But to be honest I'm not too arsed!

Many of us associate Christmas with Santa Claus more strongly than with a certain Jesus of Nazareth.

I like the caps...and its Apolyton tradition...keep 'em.
