I read this and looked through this thread for the Christmas decorations. I didn't see any decorations, so I figured I was missing something.

Then I just noticed the header banner.

Nice touch.

Ho, ho, ho, fa-la-la, fa-la-la,

Merry Chistmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy Kwanzaa & Happy Holidays

Hmmm, so you probably also don't see where the Mystery of Life is explained, simply and elegantly, at the top of each PF page. Well, I'd say it's worth $9.99 to know that. Go Gold, Def!

Thanks for the encouragement, but I haven't figured out how to use PayPal yet. So the new feature are available only to Gold members?

I like the lights, looks good. However, I'd like a nice upside down bowl hanging on the S with spaghetti hanging down the letters like tinsel. :wink:
 
  • #17
Wait, why can Cyrus see the festive banner but Defennder cannot?
 
  • #18
Yea, so I thought it was a gold member thing. Defennder needs to clear his browser's cache.
 
  • #19
Yeah I can see it now. Looks neat!
 
  • #20
Wow! Redbelly's gone festive too!
 
  • #21
Thanks for noticing! I splurged and got the blinking variety.

Ya know, I'll bet if more people became Contributors then Greg could afford cool blinking lights for the PF holiday banner...
