My facial hair changes all the time. Historically, I have shaved completely down to bare skin in late October and kept it that way through Christmas. I then grow it all out for three or four months after the first of the year and then cut that full beard back to some sort of goatee or handlebar situation. Occasionally, I will go with mustache only for the summer, but not always. This year it will LOOK like I'm participating, because I decided to start my grow out two weeks ago, but it really has nothing to do with this or any other event.
