Red Christmas ornaments are a very traditional color ornament to hang on your Christmas tree and when you choose red you're assured of a great look.
Thinking back to images of Christmases gone past one enduring image is of children collecting holly to decorate their homes for the holiday season.
There's even a Christmas song that further perpetuates the association of holly and Christmas, ' the holly and the ivy....' I am so glad that you're reading this because my singing of that was terrible!
The beautiful berries of the holly are red and the leaves are green so when we put red Christmas ornaments on to our traditional green trees we're creating our own version of decorating with holly aren't we?
Well it makes sense to me, one day I'll research it properly and will no doubt find out that there are a hosts of other reasons for red and green meaning Christmas.
