For many years, I have a tradition of wearing a Santa hat throughout Christmas day. After years of wear, the hats tend to break down. Thus, it was time to order a new one. I ordered this SANTA HAT (though not from you know who) and it has worked rather well the past couple years. The hat is made of a more durable material than many inexpensive Santa hats. It actually works as a stocking hat on those cold Christmas days! It's more than worth the money I've paid for it.
