When you are satisfied the hat's position, click \"Wear hat\" and it will be visible everywhere your avatar is displayed. Optionally, you may have a different look on each site. Once you are wearing a hat, you'll also see an option to go unadorned.

What happened to \"We hate fun\"?\u003C/h2>\n\nIn the face of the darkening days of winter, we put aside our \u003Ca href=\"http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/01/stack-overflow-where-we-hate-fun/\">steely, businesslike frowns\u003C/a> to wear \u003Ca href=\"https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Cosmetic_items\">virtual cosmetic items\u003C/a>. It's our solemn duty to cut out the nonsense leaving pure, unadulterated knowledge as permanent artifacts helpful to future visitors. And that task is no laughing matter.\n\nYet, to quote \u003Ca href=\"http://www.ccel.org/ccel/chesterton/heretics.xvi.html\">G. K. Chesterton\u003C/a>:\n\n\u003Cblockquote>About what other subjects can one make jokes except serious subjects?\u003C/blockquote>\n\nThe truth is, we don't really hate fun. Contributing to a volunteer effort should be an enjoyable experience. Heck, \u003Ca href=\"http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2013/09/five-years-ago-stack-overflow-launched-then-a-miracle-occurred/\">fake internet points\u003C/a> are integral to how these sites operate. Winter Bash reminds us that there's more to life than nose-to-the-grindstone work and quality content. We don't stop having fun when the event ends. We go back to having fun with a larger purpose.\n\n\u003Ch2>Is everything going to be the same as last year?\u003C/h2>\n\nManagement gave us a clear mandate when it came to building new features into Winter Bash:\n\n\u003Cblockquote>We were not allowed to spend weeks on snow animation.\u003C/blockquote>\n\nThankfully, we could reuse last year's start-of-the-art snowfall algorithm for the \u003Ca href=\"http://winterbash2014.stackexchange.com/\">official Winter Bash 2014 homepage\u003C/a>. There you can discover a nearly* complete list of hats and how you can earn them. The activities this year are mostly fresh and (hopefully) all fun. If you could go ahead and answer 5 questions on Saturday, that'd be great. Mmmkay?\n\nOnce again, we are delighted with the work of freelance illustrator, \u003Ca href=\"http://www.eliasstein.com/\">Elias Stein\u003C/a>. It's difficult to express how satisfying it feels to think up a concept (Tam o' Shanter!) and have it manifest a few days later:\n\n\u003Ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tam_o%27_Shanter_%28cap%29\">\u003Cimg src=\"http://stackoverflow.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/hdKRn.png\" alt=\"Tam o' Shanter\" />\u003C/a>\n\nIn the past, some people have had trouble getting hats to fit properly. \u003Ca href=\"http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2013/12/winter-bash-2013-is-here/\">Last year\u003C/a>, we added the ability to reposition hats, but that did little to satisfy folks with especially large or disembodied heads. So, this year \u003Ca href=\"http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/212056/all-i-want-is-a-well-fitted-hat\">hats can be resized and twisted to fit your head\u003C/a>.
