Nothing subliminally says Christmas quite like combining green and red. The red of Santa’s suit, the gorgeous lush green of the Christmas tree.

I initially considered Ali Edwards’ One Little Word, a selected word for the year. As Ali Edwards tells us: ‘You live with it. You invite it into your life. You let it speak to you.
