Green hat on everyone's avatar

[Supermarket Turnip]

I don't know why it's there or how long it's been around, and at this point, I'm too afraid to ask...

Almost.

Okay, so my curiosity got the better of me, and I'm going to go out on a limb. I can't be the only one wondering, right?

Why is it there? It's kind of amusing, and I thought it was some inside joke, and it'll go away after a few days. But it's been a while, and it's still there.

It's a way of marking holidays.

Ah, thank you! I feel better now!

TWT is correct.
We celebrate St Patrick's Day in September because reasons.

Observing Oktoberfest.
The event that has lasted for centuries.

The snow was a manual hack originally. This is all automated now.

you can also turn it off (or back on), if you choose to. some aren't so fond of some of the more animated holiday themes. hit your username up toward the to right, and pick "Preferences". Partway down is a checkbox for "Disable holiday styling".

(personally i find it a nice little bit of whimsy, so i keep them turned on )

Great tip!!

The only that I turn off is the bats.

I'm only seeing the Tyrolean hats. Am I missing buxom wenches wandering about the screen with flights of lager?
