The votes are in. All hail last month's winners!

Both the flair panel and mainsub unanimously agreed that December's best answer was that of /u/ucumu to the question, Choctaw historian Rita Laws, Ph.D, says the association we have of Native Americans with hunting and fishing is an massive exaggeration, and that the Aztec, Mayan, and Zapotec children ate 100% vegetarian diets until at least the age of ten years old. Is this factual? So they can take pride in having come first in both Flair's Choice and Users' Choice for December!

But since we have two awards to give out, second place goes to /u/woofiegrrl for answering The Deaf community today is split on the use of cochlear implants. Was there similar anger and argument during the spread of hearing aid use?

For the Dark Horse award, /u/sushiladyboner clearly won this category with their answer to Graffiti artist Chaz Bojorquez claims that graffiti took off on the West Coast after WWII, 20 years earlier than in New York. Is that true? How and where did graffiti originate in the US?

Greatest Question for December goes to the wonderfully named /u/OmnivorousWelles for Despite notoriety and commercial success in the 50's for their lurid and gruesome content, why was the very progressive and forceful social content of EC Comics ignored? Was there any perception at the time that the comics were more than a"bad taste" fad? Did anyone take them seriously?

Finally, our Excellence in Flairdom Award for December 2019 goes to /u/ShadowsofUtopia! Shadows specializes in a historical topic that is emotionally difficult even in the best of moments. Researching something like that is hard enough. Sensitively conveying it to readers--on the Internet--is another matter entirely. And ShadowsofUtopia does so with clarity and empathy every time.

As usual (but the first time from me specifically), a huge congrats to the winners, an equally huge congrats to all the nominees, and a no less huge congrats to everyone who contributes to the sub, even just by lurking and reading. You're all awesome!
