We obtained 266K hats this past year's WB 2019 contest, and just like the past two Winter Bashes (2017 and 2018) we showed off our new hats.

We choose our finest hats, used the positioning controls to adjust them, and posted a screenshot as an answer. As was the usual, we had a Winter Bash 2019 chat room for tips about finding secret hats and other millinery.

With Winter Bash over no more updates are expected here. At the end of 2020 a different contest is expected, this was (supposed to be) the last year for hats.

    Why is this question being negatively received, while the ones for 2017 and 2018 are positively received?

    @SonictheReinstateMonica-hog I think many people are still angry over the way Monica was treated and don't feel happy at all

    @RichardsaysReinstateMonica There's many more going wrong with Stack Overflow Inc. beyond how monica was treated.

    People share what they have with their compatriots but seldom with those whom are most in need. Is the glass half full or half empty. Better to contribute an improvement than fall into dispare.

    Wow! The hat-haters are out in full force this year. There are always downvotes on Winter Bash related posts, but this year it is crazy!

    @X-27wantstoReinstateMonica - Don't let a few downvotes discourage you, it takes five down to cancel one up. So that everyone can participate the question was enthusiastically reopened an hour ago. If people aren't walking around IRL in a bad mood, and even if they are, such behaviour isn't to be encouraged here. Off-topic behavior is off topic.

    I really can't decide if putting a damper on Winter Bash because of the unpleasant events is called for or not. I do miss Monica's participation, though, and I can see that for her Winter Bash would be bitter. I respect those who want to refrain from having fun in a way that will make those who were injured/left SE feel left out.

    There is not good reason to close this! It is a tradition which has been supported even by employees. If it gets closed again I'm definitely going to cast a reopen vote.

    @Rubiksmoose thanks, I cast a reopen vote. I don't know why we have to go through this every year.

I believe that Ezran is wearing this Merlin hat beautifully. Even if it's true that is brother, Callum, is the real magician here.

I spent 15 minutes in GIMP mocking up what I'd look like with the "This Is Fine" hat.

Scaled down variation

This is also fine

Bonus: Screwing up transparency.

Flower pot shaped as a moai head, with a top hat, a monocle and a black mustache

The top hat fits the face, not the "hair".

Flower pot shaped as a moai head with a yellow mask covering the top part of the face

I just love getting some sun on my face during winter.

Flower pot shaped as a moai head wearing a miniscule Russian ushanka

At least this ushanka won't slide over my ears.

the same flower point, but now with the burning logs of wood on its head

Happy Sol Invictus day, or Merry Christmas, as the case may be ;-)

Last seen in 2016, Solstice (Where in the world?) hats are back this year!

SJ with sun

These hats have so many benefits. :-)

They weren’t available last year. Maybe next year I’ll be able to earn both versions!


I can also rock the amazing Grace Hopper hat:

The J is good for a unicorn (foot of the rainbow) hat:
