One of the smilies is wearing a red Santa-like hat and, when posted in a message, is called "catalan."
What is a catalan?

W2F I can only imagine that it is referring to, or created by, an Iberian? Since that is reference to a "nationality" being a "Catalan"... or speaking "Catalan."
Perhaps they wear snow caps and snow glasses there? LOL

from: My Christmas by Luna Muñoz (age 11)Feliz Navidad! It all begins on 1st December, when we open the first door of our Advent calendar .... We also prepare the cagatí (a wooden log with a smiley face) at more or less the same time as the crib scene. The "cagatí" is a Catalan tradition, and the face wears the typical catalan hat on his head, the "barretina." Everyday we leave him food, then on the 25th December we hit him with a stick and then he gives everyone "presents" that he has made with the food we gave him. </div></font></blockquote><font class="post"> Info on the barretina: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barretina The Catalan region (older but all I could find with time I had) Catalan Language Introductory Page |

If that is a barretina, I hope the artist is not planning on great success as a realistic artist.
