Delights enclosed in red boxes, their outer layer wreathed in roses, and cherubs dancing, bows and silver hearts floating from their chubby digits. Exact replicas were masquerading pre-Christmas as gifts from Father Christmas himself - red packaging full of jolly ‘Ho Ho’s’ and snowflakes.
Clever marketers, quick to squeeze an extra quid or nine off their packaging bottom line spotted the connection. Red. Glorious red! Both events. Red! Didn’t even have to change the big ink cartridge down at the printers. Kept the same base colour just converted ‘Ho Ho’s’ to pinkish little people with dimpled knees and curly blonde locks.
