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.[citation needed]
In many countries, such as Sweden, people start to set up their Christmas decorations after the start of Advent.[1][2] In the Western Christian world, the two traditional days when Christmas decorations are removed are Twelfth Night and Candlemas, the latter of which ends the Christmas-Epiphany season in some denominations.[3] Leaving the decorations up beyond Candlemas is historically considered to be inauspicious.[4]
In many countries, there are many different types of decorations used depending on the traditions and available resources.
