Christmasifying your sites

[Blue Cat Buxton]

Who is going to / already has added the falling snow / holly / jaunty red christmas hat to their sites, and who is going to?

Is there a way of doing this so it is not too tacky?

Alternatively post examples of good / bad sites you come accross in the next few weeks)

My users quite literally demanded decorations ;)

Most of the members and mods are all sporting holiday avatars too.

hmm i never really thought of doing it since not everyone celebrates it. Better to keep it off the site and not offend anyone in my books, but then you gotta know your audience.

[Mike]

I think I'd only do it if one of my sites was fairly high traffic, say five or six thousand a day.

[James]

Oh, thanks for the reminder!

Gotta put this into effect on a few of the sites I have up....

[Cutter]

I might change something for a couple days. I like changing logos like Google does. Anything more than that is just too much hassle.

[MarkB]

I have a snowy logo on mygroovywedding.com - that's all.

[incka]

I'll add winter ones but NEVER christmas ones.

I'll add winter ones but NEVER christmas ones.

But in Australia right now it isn't winter!

This logo is quite good - (http://www.iwoot.com)

Most internet users are in Northern Hemisphere.

My sites are going to be like the French Government.

[moonshield]

most internet users are probably Christian. 82% of the United States is Christian.

[MarkB]

I'm not, but I still like Christmas.

I'm atheist and I want 98% of the world to be too.

[Cutter]

Then just say X-mas. Most holidays have some sort of religious background but that doesn't mean a whole lot. Most of these christian holidays were just slapped on top of pagan ones like the winter solstice anyways.

If you are running an ecommerce site you want people to buy stuff anyways ;)

[incka]

Yes, but I want new holidays to be invented with fully secular origins.

Infact, holidays are somewhat a waste of time and money.

A little heartless are we?

[incka]

No. In the USA most children get about $1000 spent on them, right? Most of that will be spent on things they don't use much. The money could go to more useful things such as feeding the poor, etc.

What?!

Oh and hey, he's not heartless. He just has a heart that's three sizes too small.

Same. I don't celebrate it as the birth of Christ, I just celebrate it as a holiday.

I don't mind people having religions, as long as A) they don't hate me for not believing in it B) it's not too stupid C) They don't push it on me (Where they all fail.)
Were I to not be athiest I'd be Buddhist. And they let people celebrate holidays from other religions anyways.

I agree that there should be secular holidays; however, I think that Christians, etc. would be disallowing other Christians, etc. from celebrating them or would just change them into something like Christmas or Easter anyways based on some random page of the bible, etc.

What do you want the other 2% to be? ;)

[incka]

People who believe in the force.

[moonshield]

lol, the force :)

[intelliot]

heh...

It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us, it binds the galaxy together. Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi

[The New Guy]

A little heartless are we?

He is at that age of moral outrage and idealism. Just let him revel in it for a awhile and it will get boring.

[moonshield]

oh, indeed. We have all gone through that stage. Good Insight, The New Guy. Well said

[eMEraLdwPn]

i'm atheist (ish), and i absolutely hate christmas, because most people can't seem to remember that it IS a religious holiday, whether they want to treat it like one or not... this year i'm more tolerant of it than i was last year though.

Unless they are buying from your AWS site this season, eh? :)

[James]

It's still a waste of time and money. It's just not his time or money being wasted.

Something like 30,000 people in BC have Jedi as their religion.

They can buy from my AWS site whenever they want, it doesn't make me stop thinking they are wasting their money on most things...
