Definition:
A “Santa hat” is a festive piece of headwear typically worn during the Christmas season.
Etymology:
The term “Santa hat” is derived from “Santa Claus,” the popular figure associated with Christmas, combined with “hat,” from the Old English “hætt,” meaning a head covering.
Symbolism:
The Santa hat symbolizes Christmas. It is closely associated with the fictional character Santa Claus.
The Santa hat is a soft, conical hat usually made of red fabric, with a white fluffy trim and a white pom-pom at the tip. It resembles the Christmas tree which is a conical tree with a five-pointed star on top. And it also resembles the Illuminati symbol which is a pyramid with an eye on top. They all carry the same symbolism of the global hierarchical monetary system: capitalism.
The act of putting on a Santa hat has sexual symbolism as the head is placed in an opening.
