Father Christmas?

 
Good day Church - a fitting photo of our Commander in Chief during this season of Advent.

That said, the topic of the "camauro's" (read Santa's Hat) brief return on December 23rd, 2005 made a cameo appearance in the freshly-released Light of the World.

Asked why the winter piece came out after nearly a half-century in abeyance, the Pope recalled that "I was just cold, and I happen to have a sensitive head. And I said, since the camauro is there, then let’s put it on."

Given the "stir" over what most of the press dubbed his "Santa hat," however, Benedict added that "I haven’t put it on again since. In order to forestall over-interpretation."
