The Pope goes for a festive look

Rome - Pope Benedict XVI looked like he was getting into the festive spirit when he appeared at the Vatican wearing a Santa-style hat.

The Pope appeared in St Peter's Square wearing a red cloak and a red velvet hat lined with white fur.

Officials said the hat, known as a camauro, has been part of the papal wardrobe since the 12th century.

It has not been worn in public since the death of John XXIII in 1963 reports BBC online.-- Ananova News
