USA!- as I understand it, Red symbolizes love and the blood of Jesus. Green= life and hope God bless.

I am not sure, however I do know that these colors are used universally. I assume that they are used primarily to represent birth (green) and death (red) as the day is in celebration of the gift of Jesus Christ to the Christians people.

They are the same in the United States. This is from an old european pagan rite, but i'm not sure of what the colors stand for.
Try Wikipedia

We use it in the U.S. I think they do in Mexico and the United Kingdom also Did you know that X mas is called Xmas because the Greek word for Christ is X?
