apologizes for terrible pun in title

I recently received an email from a Community Manager from Stack Exchange:

Winter Bash 2014 will again be available to all sites that choose to participate. We’re redesigning all the hats and adding some extra features to keep things fresh and exciting.

So, my question to you is: Hats or no hats?

Personally, I welcome our colorful headcloth overlords. This site is all about having fun; shouldn't we be the most suited to this event? Of course, though, you can vote for whatever you want, and only the overall results will be considered for the final decision.

So, what do you think? Upvote whichever position you agree with, and by December 1st, assuming it's not a close tie, our decision will be sent in to the SE team.

Oh, and if you're puzzled (ha, ha) as to what this whole "hat" thing is about, here's the FAQ for last year's Winter Bash.

Regardless of what we end up choosing, happy winter!

  • \$\begingroup\$ @professorfish Well, this site is about golfing, so golfed "Hats" is "Hts". \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ I want to downvote this answer as a stupid answer even though I don't want hats, because the reason I don't want hats isn't that I hate fun but that I see them as pointless. When you present options for voting, you should either be neutral (this is the option, with no pros or cons) or make a genuine effort to play devil's advocate. You've set this up as a "Heads I win, tails you lose" vote. Asking people to vote on false dichotomies doesn't give a real representation of community opinion, and for those people who find some SE sites hostile it will serve to reinforce that perception. \$\endgroup\$
