A
Christmas decoration is any of several types of ornamentation used at
Christmas time. The traditional colours of Christmas are
pine green (
evergreen), snow white, and heart red. Blue and white are often used to represent winter, or sometimes
Hanukkah, which occurs around the same time. Gold and silver are also very common, as are just about any other
metallic colours. Typical images on Christmas decorations include
Baby Jesus,
Father Christmas,
Santa Claus, and the
star of Bethlehem. Typical winter icons include
snowflakes,
snowmen,
icicles, and even
penguins and
polar bears.
