We were going to have hats on the site
What happened to them?
The holiday season is almost over!

3You landed on the wrong temporal coordinates with your TARDIS; the holiday season is about to begin, not over (but you point remains valid).– bitmaskDec 18, 2012 at 15:21

2@bitmask hehe the TARDIS never lies! Hanukkah is already over and the special is in 7 days. I would consider it as "almost over".– NaftaliDec 18, 2012 at 15:21

Does the downvote mean that people don't want the hats? That is very confusing x_x– NaftaliDec 18, 2012 at 15:33

Hats will arrive at 00:00Z UTC on 19 December 2012! :D

Eh.... Yes... but why not start it in the beginning of December so that all of the holidays are covered?– NaftaliDec 18, 2012 at 15:55

5@TheDoctor We were also a bit constrained by time and available people. We had no way to get everything ready in time for the beginning of December. I'm sorry that some holidays got missed as a result. I hope you can still enjoy the hats! Dec 18, 2012 at 16:02

@AnnaLear ok. At least I have an explanation ^_^ I would be glad to help out next time if this happens again.– NaftaliDec 18, 2012 at 16:05

Quotes from se podcast #38 :
People wear hats, especially winter-themed hats. Shouldn’t we celebrate all those hats? Definitely! Last year, we ran a project called Hatdash on our site about video games.. It was a huge hit, so we’re revamping the program this year for all sites that opt in. It will go live on December 19th. Hats!
The hats arrived on time and are alive and well. You can find the SF&F Winter Bash Leaderboard here.
Aarthi later edited the comment, but at one point on 12/14, she said
Also, hats arrive in 5 days. Five UTC days.
Dunno if that's business days or regular days, as no one understands how UTC works.

That is weird considering that part of the holiday season (for some people) is already over!– NaftaliDec 18, 2012 at 15:23

2You don't need to understand UTC days. With a few exceptions that did not arise during the time period in question, a UTC day is exactly the same length as a day anywhere in the world. Besides, you'll find that most of West Africa has no problem with UTC and can convert it to local time without a hitch.– user56Dec 18, 2012 at 22:53

1@Gilles That was a (admittedly bad) joke.– user1027Dec 19, 2012 at 0:10
On server fault, we're doing our own hats for the second year running.

As pointed out in a comment, many of us decided to add a hat to our gravatars ourselves:
