Why are red and green the colors of Christmas
As the last Thanksgiving leftover is consumed and the calendar flips to December the unmistakable redandgreen flood of the Christmas season comes into view The two colors fill malls and living rooms around the world and exist in nearly every decoration strand of lights and ugly sweater on store shelves The Christmas season is closely connected to this color combination—but why
CANDIDATE 1 PARADISE TREES
Probably the most obscure of the hypotheses suggests red and green may go back to Paradise Plays which were a traditional play performed on Christmas Eve about the Fall of Man and Adam and Eve’s banishment from the Garden of Eden The story can’t be recreated without a tree and since it was winter any goodlooking tree was probably an evergreen You also need a fruit to hang from it—say a red apple or a pomegranate
It’s widely thought that as the Paradise Play died out the tree remained—and turned into the modern Christmas tree The red of the fruit and the green of the tree linked the two colors in a popular imagination with the Christmas season
CANDIDATE 2 HOLLY
There is also another saying that medieval Europeans were looking for something to do during the bleakness of winter So why not party
And that party would feature evergreens as signs of life when everything else seemed to have died plus other plants that not only stayed green but even bore fruit in the middle of winter like holly or mistletoe (Although mistletoe berries are actually white) These bright reds and greens in the middle of winter may have made them natural candidates for the colors of Christmas

关节日解少呢知道什庆祝节日原纪念某物纪念件事现带家解季节关节日
Throughout the year people around the world celebrate the changing seasons①to express their appreciation of nature
②Asspring approaches the whole of Japan turns a shade of pink It is time for hanami ③which in English means flower viewing People picnic under the cherry trees and admire the blossoms for the few short days before they fall to the ground
In Bulgaria people welcome summer by ④celebrating the Rose Festival Traditionally the festival begins with rose picking During the parade that follows rose growers sing and dance to express their ⑤joy at the harvest A Rose Queen is selected every year to represent the unique beauty of these fragrant flowers
MidAutumn Day in China is also known as the Moon Festival At that time of year the moon is at its roundest and brightest ⑥making it a symbol of unity in Chinese culture That’s why people in China ⑦regard the day as an occasion for family ⑧reunions They gather with their families and eat mooncakes while ⑨enjoying the sight of the full moon at night
Winter is just right for the Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival The world’s biggest winter festival of its kind it presents ⑩various colourfully lit sculptures and buildings made from ice and snow Each year up to 15 million visitors come to join the coolcelebrations in this magical world of ice
After Midwinter the days start getting longer and people celebrate the New Year When the clocks in different countries reach midnight the celebrations may vary but they all mean one thing—good luck for the four seasons ahead
