First, I thought Reddit isn't the most ugliest site on earth anymore. Then, I thought HN's CSS file is broken when I saw the darkred navbar. Finally, I thought the green and red numbers stand for raising and falling posts.

HN is my favorite site but this Chistmas version shows again PG's modest design skills. PG, I'm sure that there many HN users (including me) who would love to redesign HN—just put it on Crowdspring or 99design and insist on keeping the HN orange. I promise you'll get tons of great designs keeping Y Combinator's core/identity.

What? The minimal, tasteful, uncluttered design of HN is one of the top reasons why it has been such an unqualified success.
