Hummm...red is a psychological color for winter. It's not technically the warmest color but it feels warm.
There are two very red things you see in winter. One is the holly berry, of course. The other--in Virginia anyway--is the cardinal. I remember that quite well because there were times when I was in the country in the middle of winter. It would all be grey ice, white snow, black tree branches, and these red-red male cardinals. You wouldn't see them often but they hit your eye. The cardinal, iirc, is the offical bird of Virginia.
I myself...have this tacky side. I like things that are just this side of tacky. I'm wearing this slightly godawful striped Gap shirt today. The old man hates it. It reminds me of those shirts people wore in the '70's...everything then was striped, striped, striped. It even has green in it. Pass me the rugby shirt!
Then I have this punk looking tank I got at Mervyn's. It's got this design...like a stars and stripes, horribly patriotic campy design. I knew I had to have it.
What's killing me...I saw this shirt and should have bought it. It had this whole Japanese painting on it. Dang.
